About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Semi-Retired to a world of time and compassion.

ABOUT ME

serious stuff:(almost like a covering letter for Job search)
I am an Engineer. Have lived out of India for some years.
As part of my job I used to conduct meetings/classes on different safety topics for fellow colleagues and staff.
I also conduct classes here for Marine engineering students on various Fire / Safety subjects / Chemical tanker familiarization programmes for Univan
Shipping and Management services, Kochi.
I am a trained Advanced fire fighter, and an active outdoor Adventure / Survival / Team dynamics trainer with National Adventure Foundation, India.
I have been associated with Oil and Gas field ever since I joined the profession.
My current objectives are to impart my best experience to the youngsters or a Company and primararily to be of any help to anybody.
Joke apart:

PHILOSOPHY

God has been nice to me and i want to be nice to all as long as i live. Peaceful coexistence, I scratch your back you scratch my back.
Against man's exploitation of nature.
If one lives in India one can really feel the presence of God, is what I think. Adithi devo bhava, in sanskrit you Guests are God, see God in others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every thing in my life to me is amazing. I have done anything amazing, I dont know.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know and still believes my life is a learning process. The education ends with my breath. The people the world over think you need a degree or diploma to excel, but I think anybody with a basic degree has an aptitude to learn and people need to cultivate and grow that quest and keep it burning till the end of their journey.
