I was born and grew up in Mumbai, India. While in school I participated in a
number of extra-curricular activities both arts and sports. I love dancing (I
don't excel at it). Samples of my performances at IITB and Columbia.
I ran the Marine Corps Marathon in Washington DC on October 26th, 2008. I have
dedicated this marathon for the education and well-being of underprivileged
children in India. Please click here

I trained with Asha for Education's
marathon training program. To know more about Team Asha, please visit our website.
I am married to Laukik Watve. We live in New York city and absolutely love it
here. We live in the Morningside Heights neighborhood in Manhattan, removed from
the hustle-bustle of downtown Manhattan but steps away from it. We enjoy
walking/running in Central Park and the Hudson Riverside Park, watching Broadway
shows, listening to live music in the pubs of East Village, and trying out
different cuisines.
Favorite quotations:
- "If you want to run, then run a mile. If you want to experience another life,
run a marathon." - Emil Zatopek
- "There are roughly three New Yorks. There is, first, the New York of the
man or woman who was born there, who takes the city for granted and accepts its
size, its turbulence as natural and inevitable. Second, there is the New York of
the commuter - the city that is devoured by locusts each day and spat out each
night. Third, there is New York of the person who was born somewhere else and
came to New York in quest of something... Commuters give the city its tidal
restlessness, natives give it solidity and continuity, but the settlers give it
passion." - E. B. White
- "Stay hungry. Stay foolish." -Steve Jobs
