Travelling, Bike Riding, Pop culture collecting.

In 2019, driven by my twin passions for travel and bike riding, i embarked on a cross-country bike trip that would forever etch itself into the story of my life. Starting from Imphal (India), i rode by RE Classic 350 through Myanmar, Thailand and Cambodia leaving behind a trail of tire marks and memories that stretched across 7,760 kms. The trip was not just an adventure, it was physically and mentally challenging.

Apart from the above, i have a passion for pop culture collectibles -Action Figures & Diecast vehicles all from the 90's.
