Activist, Artist, Change Agent, Consultant, Environmentalist, World traveler

After doing Mass communication from the Symbiosis Institute of Media and Communication, I was pushed into the glitz and glamour of the advertising world while working for a media company in Chennai. A challenging job in a challenging profession, I came out with flying colours and had the world at my feet. Then somewhere along the way, my life took an unexpected turn, and I started to rediscover myself. And I knew I had to change, a change not for the sake of change, but change brought about by a fundamental transformation deep within me that has taken me on a path of discovery to a world which we often brush aside as being irrelevant to our lives. I plunged head long in to social work with a deep passion and dedication which was lying dormant within me, and has not looked back since. I work with an NGO based in Trivandrum, and I look forward with great enthusiasm and hope in bringing about socially relevant change that will be beneficial to us and to our society as a whole.
