About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live a life of a traveller, meet new people, see new culture and live life to its fullest!

ABOUT ME

I am graduate student at Boston University, USA. Two things that I really I love doing are as follows
1. Going into the wild nature... living there, camping and just enjoying the beauty of mother earth.
2. Meeting people from different diverse cultures, sharing their experiences and talking to them about different aspects in life.

PHILOSOPHY

I personally believe that one should live a life to full extent and should not lose the path to what one wants to do in life... enjoy the life to the fullest and do what you really want to do... respect other's culture and believes, and most of all "Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than those you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from safe harbor. Catch the wind in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.(Mark Twain) "
