About Me:

I love traveling—just like most people do 😄. I enjoy working on the farm, and nothing beats partying with my real friends. I'm happily married to my wife, Nirmala, and we have two wonderful children, Awantika and Archit. I also really enjoy reading, though, unfortunately, I don't get as much time for it as I'd like.
