About me

Personal:-

I am basically a down to earth person with get-along attitude believe in work hard party harder. My experience in Afghanistan has changed my perception towards life. It is too little to put in words about the miserable conditions how people are surviving.

Young children lost lives, some became physically handicapped in land mine blasts. Watching all these in front my eyes has made me more as a Human, optimistic and stronger to face any challenge. I have lived almost a year and still commute often to Kabul for business as well as for a holiday, to find more out of life, in fact "WHO I AM" and the purpose of my existence in this world. I fell in love with those naked mountains, the moment I kept my first foot on the soil of the war torn country....Afghanistan..." Land of Mountains"
