Beyond the realms of economic theories and data analysis, I find solace and inspiration in various forms of artistic expression.

Painting is one of my greatest passions. Starting at the age of five, I have been trained in various mediums of art, such as watercolour, acrylics and oil, among which watercolour is the closest to my heart. Art is not just a pastime for me; it’s a form of expression that complements my academic rigor. The strokes of a paintbrush and the blending of colours on a canvas create a parallel to the intricate theories I unravel in economics. My love for painting isn’t confined to leisure; it’s a journey of self-discovery that helps me perceive the world from different perspectives. Through an art blog, I share this journey with others, inviting them to explore the intersection of aesthetics and intellect. My canvases often reflect my fascination with celestial bodies like the moon, and flowers.

Beyond the visual arts, my heart resonates with the melodious notes of classical music. Having trained in the rich Bishnupur Gharana of Indian classical music for five years, I have come to appreciate the harmonious balance between structure and creativity—a concept that mirrors the intricacies of economic systems. This musical journey has not only honed my discipline and dedication but has also fostered a deep sense of cultural appreciation. My favourite Raaga is Bhimpalasi and my favourite Taal is Jhoomra.

As I navigate the challenging waters of academia, I find solace in the simple pleasures of life—a steaming cup of coffee that fuels my intellectual endeavours and moments spent gazing at the moon, a reminder of the vast universe that exists beyond our scholarly pursuits. I also love spending time in the library, I love the smell of old books and the gentle symphony of rustling pages.

All these hobbies and interests of mine collectively contribute to the tapestry of my identity, infusing a sense of creativity and wonder into my scholarly journey.
