WHO AM I
An MBA who chose highways over boardrooms.
So here’s the thing — I sat through two years of management school, survived case studies on supply chains, and somehow graduated with an MBA from Nagpur. Very impressive, I know. My mom framed the degree and everything.
But the moment that truly changed me? Riding out of Nagpur at 5am, cold wind on my face, empty roads, a half-charged phone, and absolutely zero plan. That’s when I figured out what I actually wanted from life.
I’m a budget backpacker, a moto-head, a car nerd, and a walking, talking proof that you don’t need deep pockets to have rich experiences. I’ve shared dorm rooms with strangers who became best friends, eaten the best food of my life from roadside stalls that cost Rs.40, and had conversations that no classroom ever taught me.
This blog is my logbook. Every story, every breakdown (bike and emotional), every breathtaking sunrise after a terrible night’s sleep on a bus — it’s all here.

WHAT DRIVES ME (LITERALLY)
| 🗺️ | Backpack Travel | If a trip doesn’t involve a local bus, a sketchy shortcut, and at least one ‘what have I done’ moment — did you even travel? |
| 🏍️ | Riding Bikes | Two wheels, open roads, wind in your face. Bikes aren’t just transport — they’re therapy on the move. |
| 🚗 | Cars & Drives | From torque curves to road trips, cars fascinate me mechanically and emotionally. A great drive is a moving meditation. |
| 🤝 | Making Friends | My best souvenirs aren’t magnets. They’re the chai with a stranger in Varanasi and the hostel 2am conversation. |
| 📸 | Storytelling | Every place has a story and I have an unhealthy obsession with capturing it — through words, photos, and dramatic captions. |
| 🍛 | Street Food | My travel budget goes 60% on food. Some of the best meals of my life cost less than a cup of airport coffee. |
MY TRAVEL PHILOSOPHY
“I didn’t find travel on a vacation. I found it when I ran out of excuses not to go.”
