Interests

Sailing & Painting

Sailing & Painting

On weekends, you’ll usually find me with a paintbrush in hand—nature is my favorite muse and landscapes are totally my jam. When I’m not painting, I’m out sailing! I’ve been a sailor since 8th grade and regularly navigate the waters of Mumbai Harbor. My sailing adventures aren’t just local though—I’ve also ridden the waves of the Atlantic near Cape Cod, USA, and the Pacific in San Francisco Bay. From canvases to coastlines, I love exploring the world in color and motion 🌊🎨
