travelogues

I am not sure if I lived my life on the road, or the road just decided to be an integral part of my life. Even as a child I had itchy feet and I used to disappear from home quite frequently, sometimes for hours, at times for days. I never stayed at one place for more than three years as an adult, and even during those three years I hardly stayed put for more than three months without making a trip to the nearby destinations. Thus, know India through my eyes.

ecology & sustainability

Concern over the loss of ecological balance, be it because of apparent unsustainable development all across the world or the choice of the masses for conspicuous consumption, has remained another integral part of my life for very long. The articles here are likely to reflect my years of research and first hand experience on these topics.

art, culture & everyday life

From my own poetry, prose (anecdotes, fiction, creative non-fiction, essays and photo essays) to reviews on literature, art and cinema shall be covered under this parent category. I can’t seem to keep my expressive and critical mind under wraps. Feel free to discuss and debate on my work or someone else’s!

astrology and spirituality

Twenty years ago my journey into astrology began with a very reluctant me meeting a lady astrologer. If she wouldn’t have given me some hope that day, I would have probably crumbled away under the duress of an overly eventful life by now. However, I still exist, became a healer of sorts and decided to execute the ‘free will’ window that an astrological knowledge about ourselves and people around us provides us with. Hope I can do for you what that lady did for me!
