When I look back at my childhood days I realise that I never belonged to civilization. I was born wild and that's what I love, being outdoors. Coming from a defense background certainly helped me fulfilling my soul through adventures at a very young age on the sea side. I spent my childhood swimming in the seas of Tamil Nadu, Andaman and Goa. As I grew up, I became a fan of the mountains and solo travel. As life passed, I spent a few years in corporate jobs but never settled. Solo traveling gives me a high like meditation, and I realized that mountains are my first love. Post backpacking for a few years I wanted to see higher and bigger mountains and that is how I began trekking. An animal lover at heart, I get the highest adrenal rush from letting go of security, hence I love to go unsupported and face my fears. For the remaining bit of my life I wish to inspire people towards liberation of minds through endurance, and wining over themselves, and in the process conserve the ecosystem and bring smiles to all the stake holders.
