"Though devoid of merit, it is better to perform one' own duties"

                                                                                             -Bhagavat Gita.

As a born Indian and a Canadian citizen, I have adopted the best of both the worlds. My rich cultural back ground, education and help from family and friends have enabled me to lead a fruitful life in the society. As a citizen it is important for everyone to contribute to the society they live in and I do my best to live upto that dream.

As a professional mathematician, I have great interest in game theory and like to perform tricks with playing cards. This also led me to learn some magics. I am member of the magic club here at Halifax and occasionally have performed in cultural get togethers and birthday parties.

I am also a registered priest in Nova Scotia. I am helping the Hindu community here with religious and social functions and also performing the Hindu part of the inter-racial marriages of the new generation of Indo-Canadians. I really enjoy doing this service to our community.

I am also an active participant in Halifax Hindu Temple Society and Sri Venkateswara Temple Society. I regularly perform religious rites, poojas and occasionally give sermon too. I also represent Hinduism in many of the multicultural or inter-religious get togethers in the Halifax area and give talks to the general public.
