Hobbies
I love playing videogames, painting, drawing and spending time with my daughter, mostly doing all of the above. I dabble a lot in tech, tinkering around under the hood of my gaming machine, making DIY tech projects. I read a lot of science fiction and fantasy books, with a love for everything cyberpunk. I have always aspired to do stand up comedy, maybe one day it'll happen.
Published writing
I am a published writer, with stories on hardcore tech, design, gaming, future tech and tech for kids in publications such as Times of India, LiveMint, IGN, The Hindu, Mirror and many more. From the latest graphic cards, or how to build your own screen reactive LED backlight to stories on tech for pets. I love coming up with stories, researching and writing them.
