CURRENT MISSION

Advocating rationalism and humanism

ABOUT ME

I am a 68 year young Chemical Engineer for whom travel is a passion. I have traveled to 33 countries and more. Most of my tours have been back-pack. I go with package tours operated by professionals and then go off on my own. thus recently, Sep 21, 2014, I went to Japan and Korea with a tour operator and then back-packed my way to Philippines and Singapore. Before that in 2013 I went with a package tour operator to Spain, Portugal, Gibraltar and Morocco. After the package was done I flew back alone to Spain and from there to Finland, Netherlands, Germany and finally Greece for Easter. It was quite an experience.
I am easy to get along with, that is what my friends would say. I have no prjudices or preconceptions. I am a rationalist to the core and quite widely read. In fact I have two books to my credit - 'A Win-Win Outlook' in English and 'Holy Crap' in my native tongue malayalam.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I have done is 1. I caught a thief single-handly when I was 22. 2. I had three government employees trapped by the police for taking bribes.
The most amazing place I have visited is Kashmir and Ladakh - so beautiful and yet so pathetic. Another thing that impressed me much was Freetown Christiania in Copenhagen, Denmark. I wish I had the courage to organize such freetowns everywhere
