About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To own a pet emperor penguin

ABOUT ME

I love travelling and exploring aimlessly, living & accepting the present moment. I have only been to 6 countries till now, but will be adding more to my list soon. I love visiting Museums & Art Gallery's and have been to the Royal Ontario museum like 10 times, sure its a bit expensive to get into, but i always enjoy going there as well as the AGO.

I love the outdoors a lot. Jogging, Cycling and trekking is something I do occasionally.

PHILOSOPHY

My Personal philosophy is that of respecting the Human Being. It revolves around the concept of acting as if every law were a Universal Law and that law comes from our Conscience. To think progressively, in a way that you find common ground between culture, tradition and the modern world. At the end of the day we are all living in the present not the past and its up to us create history today than to live in the past and delve over petty moralities.
