Artist. Balancing the Yogi and the Foodie in me :P Nature lover. Social activist. Ukulelist

I am passionate about getting my hands soaked into the velvet colours of nature and paint the world with my magical strokes. I loved to draw since I was six years old. I’m into an unconditional relationship with my watercolours, graphite & charcoal, soft pastels, pencil colours, pens and all sorts of brushes and stumps. I had a water brush collection since I was seven years old. I started a small business of coffee bookmarks wrapped in soft yet strong butter paper. I am obsessed with the galaxy. Whenever I feel low or extremely very high, I paint galaxies on any media. I used to be an over-expressive person. But practising art has taught me patience and it’s one of the gifts I’ve received by art. I will cherish art forever and inspire others to follow their passion and their talent. I want to learn new skills until my last breath. I have performed Beatboxing on stage. I love playing classical music like Fur Elise by Beethoven and Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin on my cute little ukulele. I won’t say the cliche line “I want to live my life to the fullest”, rather I’ll just say that I am actually living it right now, right at this moment. I want to explore nature and as well as protect it. I am a yogi. I try to make my body as flexible as possible. I love to get my pictures clicked (fake candids included :P ). I usually try to pose an asana amidst nature and the outcome is so beautiful.

“WE BELONG TOGETHER”. Albert Einstein said, “The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch and do nothing.” Which category do you belong to? We all belong to a single earth. We have walked together, talked together. Let’s join hands and take steps to save our dear world and ourselves. Let’s dream together and shape reality. I love this quote by Ron hall “Together we can change the world, just one random act of kindness at a time”. Let’s do small things and tackle great hurdles. we’re all working together; that’s the secret.

I was in high school when I first came to know about TED. I used to watch their videos. After my matriculation, I started attending the Model United Nations in my city. When I joined college, I was really disappointed with a few things here. To be honest, a real college is never like the colleges in the movies. I wanted to bring a change here. On my first day of college, I was determined to conduct a Model United Nation in my college and by the end of the first year, I was able to fulfil this dream. By the time I was in my second year, I had seen about 90% of the students demotivated. I had to do something. I started recommending TED Talks to my friends and the majority of them were influenced. I had then decided to conduct a TEDx event at my college. I was attending TEDxKIET when it clicked in my mind that watching TED Talks videos and attending a TEDx event, both are very different things. The aura of the room is already so mesmerizing. I started filling my application for the TED license. And now here I am, conducting the second TEDx event.

Cooking. I love cooking. I have been cooking since I was nine years old.
