About Me

CURRENT MISSION

no mission just little dreams :-)

ABOUT ME

Believe that we have just one life and attempt to pack as many varied experiences in that life. A normal Indian couple in a happy marriage. Have a full-time job on weekdays and alternate Saturdays. Weekends are usually with family. Love to have a good laugh with friends, movies, etc. Have an insatiable thirst to travel, explore new lands, meet new people AND try different cuisines.

PHILOSOPHY

Nothing is permament in life. Enjoy the moment.
