i Read . i Travel . i Become

I'm a storyteller, a blogger, an orator, a tech enthusiast, a photographer, a history buff, a political nerd, a teacher and a lifetime student.

This is my digital garden - a compendium of the things I've learned and created over the years.

History

"History's so boring!", "I don't care about any of this stuff!", "Why do we even have to learn this?". I've heard these phrases in various forms. While I do understand that not everyone finds history fun, I'd like to share why I love it so much.

First of all, my main area of interest is ancient Indian history. I love ancient Indian history because I get to learn how societies in the past functioned, how ancient Indians built the most advanced engineering marvels, how the administrations were run, about the wars, cultures, traditions, food and architecture of various Indian dynasties. For me, it's like a time travel. Another reason why I love history is that it answers a lot more questions about the world. Everything has a history and because everything has a history, history can help us understand our world in a better way.

To sum it all up, for me, history is an adventure. It allows me to broaden my horizons and explore different cultures and ideologies. It feels great to learn how so many things are connected through history and its effects on the world. I look forward to what history has in store for us, and I am eager to learn more and more about this world.

Travel

I have so many childhood travel memories it's hard to pinpoint the first one. But have you ever thought about how your first travel memory could have influenced the way you travel now.? I believe that childhood travel memories play a significant role in the type of travel experiences we seek to create in adulthood. After finishing school I started traveling alone. Travelling makes me a mature human being and a sensible person. Traveling helps me to explore & get off your fears. Traveling helps me explore my inner self & helps in healing from the past because you tend to meet people from different places with different stories. Barring the north-eastern part of India, I have covered all the major destinations within the country. I am yet to do an international trip though.

Public Speaking

Most people have heard that speaking is the number one fear. Regardless, at first glance it may seem odd but I love public speaking.

For me, public speaking is most rewarding and exhilarating when I drop into the flow state. I am the type of person who likes to be heard by the people around me. I want others to know what I think about a certain event. Along with putting my opinions out there, I also enjoy spreading information that I know. Things I have learned, I love to share with others.

Blogging

Neuronerdz, was a community of nerdz started by me during college that wish to penetrate the blogging culture in India and subsequently the world with a simple goal in mind: To provide excellent content curated by the people that most understand their current generation audience. Neuronerdz wishes to create a youthful community with content emerging from a diverse array of youth across the country.

Social Work

I am a part of an organization called "Light and Life". It is run by a group of young enthusiasts. This organization was founded to cover a major aspect of the life cycle that is animal welfare as no other NGO focused on this topic in and around. Hence, it was our major objective to focus on things which are generally ignored by today's generation. We also aim at uplifting society and focus on the empowerment of each and every section of it. Light and Life believes in a phrase - "They Grow, We Grow". Where 'they' is referred to the underprivileged sections of the society.
