Questions and Answers

Q. What lessons did you learn from the COVID-19 pandemic?

A. Opportunities can be found even during adversities. This pandemic brought a whole host of new opportunities for me. I got a chance to enhance my skill set. This brought in a whole new experience. I made my foray into the world of being a published writer. A magazine based out of Bhubaneshwar published an article I wrote. So, while the world has been reeling under the pandemic I have made most of the time on my hand.

Q. What values drive you?

A. To describe me in a nutshell, once I decide to do something, I ensure that I get it done. So perseverance, determination, belief and faith are the values that drive me.

Q. What is your favorite movie?

A. Favorites keep changing with me. My current favorite is ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’ starring Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone.

Q. Whom have you ever loved from your heart?

A. I love my grandfather the most. I continue to feel his void even today. And yes I do love ‘my family’ as well.

A. It is quite simple. Be a successful journalist, have a loving and understanding partner and family and home.

An aspiring journalist bit by the bug of Indology. Love to ponder upon moments of life philosophising about them. I am an avid cricket buff and look forward to new and exciting adventures through reading and travel. I like writing on political events, climate, and personal thoughts on life and literature.
