Impressionable in age, cross-legged in the kitchen, I was glued to the elaborately nuanced and passionate narrations of innumerable anecdotes by my mother. Bringing alive the people she spoke of in her changing rhythm, between sounds and whiffs of her traditional cooking, my younger years were nothing short of a sensory overload. Which now, makes me a compulsive storyteller, eager to unleash the power of narration, bringing every story alive.
As a filmmaker, amongst deep appreciation for various departments of filmmaking, I am particularly drawn towards human behaviour – expression, emotion and experience associated with the individual, as well as the human race. Though far from claiming any expertise in Humanities, I like to observe the arts, philosophy and metaphysics to creatively express myself. Interested in people and everything between our beautiful diversity and deeper oneness, I aspire to bring that universal connectedness in seeming differences, through my ideas. The reflection of which could have limitless expressions, from interpersonal communications to large-scale impacting mediums like films or public speaking.
Having directed several ad films across genres, mediums and industries such as finance, food, health & pharmaceuticals, household-durables, education, fashion, NGO’s… I find listening and sharing our stories central to human existence. Probably a reason why I also find myself to be a digital minimalist, engaged more in conversations, learning and unlearning together with our unschooled son. With an interest in studying spirituality, linearity has given way to seeing life volumetrically, an understanding which I hope to bring to the way I respond to experiences. And as life experiences bring out different perspectives, I would like to be constantly evolving.
