In the words of Vivek: Between the (public) professional life and the very deep and private recesses of my brain lies a universe of thoughts, actions and beliefs. These have been shaped by events, people and perhaps Karma. It's this universe I seek to put in words.
In this blog, I share all of this and more, viewed through different lenses and perspectives. While I talk about life, I also touch upon publishing, the future of education and complexities of intellectual property law.
