CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Having spent years as an environmental activist in a southern country, I have become a cynical optimist. Cynical that nothing will ever change and optimist that it will. Contradictory. But true.
Love travelling. Enjoy meeting people and discussing experiences and exchanging notes

PHILOSOPHY

I have complete faith that basic human nature is good, and allow for human failings and weaknesses. I know I have plenty of them. :-)
It is the small things in life that matter, that make life special, worth living.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seen plenty. How complete strangers go out of their way to help a fellow traveller or a visitor to their village / city. I could recount many such instances.

Teach, Learn, Share

What was nice was that most people switched to English when I was around. This made me feel included. Small gifts, especially representing home country, that are of use are greatly appreciated. e.g. Indian spices and incense sticks
