I have studied, lived and worked in India, Switzerland, France and Singapore. As an architect from CEPT Ahmedabad, I founded an architecture practice in Bangalore, and then graduating with an MBA from INSEAD Fontainebleau, I have further pursued a career in Real Estate.
I find it surprising when I hear people say they are easily bored as personally, I find it rather difficult to achieve boredom!

Oscar Wilde Special
I think that God in creating Man somewhat overestimated his ability.
Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong.
We're all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
My great mistake, the fault for which I can't forgive myself, is that one day I ceased my obstinate pursuit of my own individuality.
Do you really think it is weakness that yields to temptation? I tell you that there are terrible temptations which it requires strength, strength and courage to yield to.
A man who does not think for himself does not think at all.
I always pass on good advice. It is the only thing to do with it. It is never of any use to oneself.
To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.
A little sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal.
A true friend stabs you in the front.
I can stand brute force, but brute reason is quite unbearable. There is something unfair about its use. It is hitting below the intellect.
I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best.
I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train.
I suppose society is wonderfully delightful. To be in it is merely a bore. But to be out of it is simply a tragedy.
Arguments are extremely vulgar, for everyone in good society holds exactly the same opinion.
