The Tomatina festival will someday take me to Spain. Where I live Places I’ve visited Places I want to visit The 2008 terror attack on Mumbai inspired me to write a song about India entitled “This is our Land .” While my favorite music is Folk Rock, I am equally open to Heavy Metal and Pop. One of my fondest memories is the road trip I made with my college-mates to attend Iron Maiden in Bangalore. I have never experienced South American culture, so I aim to experience the rising Brazilian and Chilean economies through work someday. My father’s stories of the African Savannah have evoked a desire to go there. My favorite movie is Lord of the Rings, so New Zealand is top priority, I believe Japan is a role model for efficieny , and I am eager to witness their methods, first-hand. Music Travel In college, I enjoyed working with the Student Council and Magazine Committee. As the head of the latter’s Design department I was fortunate to win several awards. Design Play 3

Life 4 After Before Community Service Music Home One day, I hope to be associated with such organizations such as the World Bank, IMF or an SWF, which aim to bolster emerging economies. In this way, albeit non-traditionally, I would contribute to development. My dream is to own my very own Gibson Les Paul and in time, a recording studio at home, even if it is a small one. With an MBA I can live life on my own terms, and achieve the dreams that my girlfriend and I have seen together of owning a house and settling down. Through DreamSpace and love for playing the guitar I keep myself invigorated. I know I am not a professional , but playing purely for passion is what keeps me aiming for greatness elsewhere. Although my dreams may take their time to come through, its been a dream in itself to have grown up with my family and in my home. Its something I wouldn’t ever, ever trade. I have always believed in giving back to the community, be it through Alert India, NLEP, Mother Teresa’s Missionaries of Charity or the philanthropic committee at J.P. Morgan.
