Interests


Apart from this computing world, I love to hear multi-lingual Indian music and an avid runner. Also, I have a keen interest in public policies.

When forced indoors, I follow a number of sci-fi and fantasy genre movies and television shows, I am an aspiring technology evangelist, and I spend a good amount of my free time pulse-checking contents of social media.
