I have been teaching the subjects of Philosophy and Logic for the past thirteen years. I have recently been selected to the Board of Studies in Philosophy (Balbharti, Pune) and will be involved with curriculum and textbook development for the same.

I am particularly interested in Indian Philosophy and especially Advaita Vedanta of Shankaracharya. My personal philosophy of life is “to live and let live."  I strongly believe in Karma Yoga. My hobbies include reading books, experimental cooking and watching Marathi plays.
