I lead on-ground operations at Alt Carbon, which basically means I spend a lot of time in fields, tea gardens, and places where Google Maps politely gives up.

When I'm not working, I'm usually following cricket. I'm a massive Dhoni fan and I strongly believe he should never retire — not because it's logical, but because some constants in life are necessary for emotional stability.

I also have a habit of thinking (and overthinking) about meta questions and dragging my friends into them. My most recent obsession: what is an ideal Sunday, and what does it actually mean to relax? Is it doing nothing? Doing something slowly? Or just doing chores with better lighting? Still unresolved.

Food is another internal battleground. I love exploring new dishes, but my brain keeps whispering, "Don't risk it, order what you know." It's a daily fight between curiosity and butter chicken.

I work out regularly, largely because it gives me moral permission to eat whatever I want. The idea of a sustained calorie deficit continues to be an elusive dream, but hope, like pre-season fitness goals, remains alive.
