My mother introduced me to the concept of multipotentiality early on in life, and has been an ever present encouraging and inspiring presence for me to broaden my horizons beyond the academic realm. I have grown up dabbling in an array of activites, from horse riding, to animation & digital design, to choral conducting.
I am told that I became the world's youngest voice over artiste to handle an English script, when I professionally lent my voice to UNICEF at the age of three, for their organisational film regarding children's activities across the globe. I have since lent my voice to other organizations like Aptech and The Bishop's School.
I am also an amateur nature photographer, and can never resist the opportunity to capture a nice shot.
Music and dance have been well ingrained parts of my culture, and spontaneously breaking out into group song during our family gatherings is by no means rare. I myself sing, play the violin and piano (albeit, poorly) and have been trained in Jazz dance and Bharatnatyam (though I like trying other styles too). Oh, and I also rap.
My free time is also enjoyed through a good game of tennis, or some time on the ice rink. My skating dream is to perform the Axel jump someday.

Reading has been a big part of my life. Many of my childhood years were spent in remote parts of my country, with no children my age to befriend. I found my companionship within the bound pages of books instead, and spent endless hours captive to the world of imagination.
Eventually, this stirred a gentle passion towards writing something myself. I began more than a decade ago, starting multiple fiction stories with great gusto that would quickly peter out, leaving me with a series of unfinished works. As the years rolled on, my writing adapted to my hectic lifestyle, evolving into short vignettes about my experiences and thoughts on life. I have shortlisted a sampling of some thoughts I have enjoyed penning down below. I hope you enjoy reading them and much as I did writing them!
