Personal
A few things I enjoy away from the desk.
Running
I used to run occasionally, but it became a real habit at the start of 2022, when peer pressure dragged me into a 10K. Since then, I've kept chasing races across different cities - most recently, the LA Marathon in 2026.
Hiking
Hiking has become one of my favorite mood-elevators. I'm especially drawn to the US National Parks system and have been lucky to explore a handful of them over the past decade. Next on the list: making my way through a few national parks in Asia.
Music
I'm trained in playing the tabla, and have a deep appreciation for Indian classical music, both Hindustani and Carnatic traditions. During my time in Ithaca, SPICMACAY (a student organization dedicated to promoting Indian classical arts) gave me the joy of witnessing many fabulous performances.
