Photography
I've left parts of my soul in places that I've travelled to. All I have brought back, have been pictures. Here are attempts to capture the essence of daily life through my lens.

Backpacker's Hostel | Café | Trips
For 6 months in 2018-19, I lived in a backpackers' hostel in Sikkim, India. Even before the bias crept in, it seemed like one of the best hostels I'd ever seen in India.I starting living at the hostel. A typical day would have some communication strategy execution and redesigning the hostel’s website and brand identity, some posting on social media, some taking pictures, often waiting tables and accounting for the day, checkins and check-outs, and constantly interacting with a lot of guests. I thoroughly enjoyed everything about volunteering in a backpacker’s hostel, closely observing all the patterns of travel that I had only written about from my various travel jobs.
The sunpedal ride
In Summer 2019, 4 of us traveled along India’s Golden Quadrilateral Highways on a retrofitted solar-powered electric auto-rickshaw (tuk-tuk) and a support vehicle, for 60 days and 6000 kilometers.We spent 60 nights in different cities and towns of India, and needed all the help we could get from locals for our journey. We spent our time engaging with area locals, discussing clean energy and climate change, met facilitators of change throughout the country, eating local food, finding places of interest throughout the route, in the full blast of the Indian summer.
