I come from Pune, India. I am fortunate to get to work in my favorite field -Earth System Science! ESS lets me study all the spheres of the natural world and explore their connections. Essentially studying Gaia hypothesis, but scientifically! 

 

My love for mountains often finds me winter mountaineering and backcountry skiing, trad and alpine climbing, and winter backpacking in the Colorado Rockies and the Sierras, and trail running and mountain biking in the local San Gabriels. My preferred medium for expressing my appreciation for nature is spontaneous plein air water colors. When home, I enjoy relaxing by cooking, listening to jazz, and attempting to improvise on mandolin and harmonica. 

 

This site is a one stop to be updated with all the things I'm up to! So please stay tuned!
