Who am I:

I am a person who wanted to be a healer and wanted to have powers to heal the world in a magical sense of the word.

I wished I had power to fly and dance in air. I wish I had power to till stories all the time... As stories always amazes a human mind, numbs them of the pain in their lives , what if even if it is momentary and hence that journey took me to painting class in 12 standard and then into NID as a design manager and later into FTII as a direction student.

You see , I am also a film maker not just a design researcher. I was trained at the Film and Television Institute of India, Pune in film direction. I have made several documentary films, ad films and couple of animations, and taught the various aspects of film making and design at various design, films and media institute all over India. I have taught in NIFT , Welingkar, MICA , SCMS, ASMS...... And I still do...

Teaching for me is a getaway to learn more stories and understand the social dynamics of today and changing dynamics of tomorrow's life......

I have conducted several creative writing, design management , ethnographic workshops . I feel all are end to one for me... to continuously explore about the future by learning from the world around us .... and hence there after to be able to tell stories which are magnificent, amusing and heart wrenching..... I hope i can fulfill my dreams .....
