About me

As a kid, I loved to draw

and loved to play with colors

But I was told that

if I want to be “smart”,

I must focus on “real” studies.

So I did. I studied hard.

Wrote some exams

Hustled my way through an Engineering college

to study

Mechanical Engineering

because I was fascinated with machines

Then came more exams...
and even more studying...

In quest of a core job,
I wrote GATE exam

and managed to secure a good rank

and with that, I landed a job at Bharat Petroleum

It was a whole new chapter,

I wore many hats...jumping between different profiles...

each one came with new challenges,
testing my abilities

But slowly, questions started creeping in—

Is this a career I want for the long run?

Am I really growing here?

Am I really enjoying the work or doing it just to earn a living?

What’s the true purpose behind my journey?

The existential thoughts grew louder.

I started feeling lost

I decided to resign from the job

and take a break

I stepped out of my comfort zone

and set off on an unknown journey...

joined a meditation retreat to re-discover myself

I involved myself in different volunteering activities, trying out new things

and that is when I discovered about..

which instantly resonated with me..

and I decided to pursue formal design education

After giving few more exams
(by now, I had made peace with it)..

I joined IIT Guwahati to pursue MDes

This is where I acquired a diverse set of skills..

and learned to use many tools..

and now I am looking forward to opportunities to apply all these skills

and make some impact in the real World.
