About me:

I have a huge appetite for experiencing life in all its infinite ways.

For over two decades, that insatiable curiosity led me deep into the scientific world, where I explored the body’s intelligence at the cellular level. I worked in the lab as a molecular biochemist—building assays, making protein molecules, designing delivery vehicles for therapeutics, and studying how the body responds to different perturbations.

Since 2012, I have pursued storytelling and movement through Odissi, an East Indian classical dance form. To me, Odissi is a graceful way of moving through the world while keeping stories and mythologies alive. Every time I dance, I am challenged to go deeper within myself and bring out a nuance I have not visited before.

Growing up, I also learned Carnatic music, the classical music tradition of South India. Singing still takes me to a lovely, heady space—a place that feels both familiar and expansive.

And then there is art.

As a child, I remember always packing my coloring book and crayons, no matter where we traveled as a family. For all I know, it could have been a ten-minute car ride, but I would dissolve into the pages of my drawing book every single time for what felt like an eternity. That still happens. And it is truly where my magic unfolds.

My path today is a continuity of all of these threads—science, movement, music, storytelling, and art. At some point of time they seemed like different worlds, but these days I recognize that they have always been different ways of exploring the same thing: the infinite ways of experiencing, understanding, and expressing life.

Alongside this unfolding journey, I have also been on what I can confidently call the grandest adventure of my life. You can read more about that at www.lifebycycle.info
