Come looking for me, you wandering soul, in the mountains. You will find me talking to nature and listening carefully to what it echoes to us. Please do not forget to bring me a cup of chai if you would want me for your company. I love contemplating life, creating poetry on the go (which my friends fondly call #randomthoughts) while life happens in front me like a muse dancing on the stage.

It took me 18 years, 2 half manu-scripts, a world pandemic to finally publish my book which is contrary titled The End. 153 poems, countless online articles and a few editorials later, thebuswindow.com is home to all the random ramblings of my heart. And I realise that words are more powerful than I ever imagined them to be. They heal and have the capacity to hound at the same time.

You will observe quite a few references and uncanny correlations to nature in my writing - both poetry and prose. I am equally inspired by daily vagaries of life. I love to introspect and contemplate life. I feel sad that how fast the times are changing and not much for the greater good. While we are at the peak of human success - there have never been more sad eyes, tired bodies and deprived souls. We are connected digitally 24x7 and yet more disconnected (in reality) with each other than ever before. I am moved by the emptiness of the times we live in.

And this is what you will see captured in my writings as well. Writing for me is as quintessential as breathing. When I am not writing, I am marketing a product. Yes, I am a marketer by profession and an author by passion.

My Alma mater include: IIM Shillong, VIT University (Vellore), Army School Ratnuchak (Jammu) and Little Flower School (Jammu). And I owe them and my family a huge thanks for being absolutely supportive in making me pursue my dream of becoming an author.
