Original Kolhapuri, then Dombivlikar, e-kid, now Pune resident, not Puneri. Cheerful, optimistic. Was not very open to new ideas, food or cultures. Thanks to my friends and time, that is a thing of the past now.

Some of you may also know me as the guy who lost his passport in Peru. Some think I returned to India because of that incident. Some thought I returned to India because I couldn’t find a job in US because of 9/11 (Understandably my employer in India upon return was in this group but were kind enough to trust me and give me a job!)

Love journeys more than the destination. Have taken up Yoga recently, loving it. Am a bit of a fitness freak and a foodie. Enjoy all kinds of food. Mostly vegetarian by choice not because of faith or religion. Secret ambition is to become a professional food taster.
