What’s the best part of your profession? What made you choose this profession?

The best part of it is that I enjoy doing that - going out, observing, journaling it down and then giving it my touch.

Do you like reading? What was the last thing you read?

I love reading. I read books, articles and about culture and art - they fascinate me a lot

If you could have dinner with any 3 people dead or alive, who would it be and why?

The first one will be Subhash Chandra Bose as I have always admired his courage and bold attitude, I wanna learn that from him to be fearless in my pursuit. The second person will be APJ Abdul Kalam - I wanna take in all the knowledge that he has to share along with the food and then the third person will be Ratan Tata - I wanna learn about his strategies

If you could turn back the time and talk to your 18-year-old self, what would you tell him/her?
