My Photographic Journey The world changed dramatically in 2020. Lockdowns, quarantines, and social distancing became the new normal. For me, this period of isolation proved to be a catalyst for a new passion. As I spent countless hours indoors, I found solace in exploring the world through a lens. Photography, a hobby I'd dabbled in, suddenly became a lifeline. It offered a way to connect with the world, even when physical connection was limited. I started by capturing the mundane: the play of light and shadow in my room, the intricate details of plants, and the changing moods of the sky. As the restrictions eased, I ventured out, armed with my camera. The world, once familiar, now seemed fresh and vibrant. Every corner, every moment, became a potential photograph. I found joy in capturing the beauty of nature, the candid moments of everyday life, and the unique character of different places. With each click of the shutter, I felt a sense of purpose. Photography allowed me to express my emotions, share my perspective, and connect with others on a deeper level. It became a way to document my journey, to freeze time, and to create lasting memories. I'm grateful for the challenges of 2020. It pushed me to discover a new passion and to embrace the power of creativity. As I continue my photographic journey, I'm excited to see where it takes me.

As a Financial Architect and five-time MDRT (Million Dollar Round Table) qualifier, my life revolves around meaningful relationships and connecting with people. With over 5,000 active clients, I thrive on building trust and sharing unique experiences. Each interaction is an opportunity to inspire others, and travel has always been a way for me to enrich this journey. I aspire to travel to Vietnam not merely as a tourist but as a seeker of knowledge and experiences that will enhance my professional and personal growth. As someone passionate about photography, culture, and nature, Vietnam offers a canvas rich with inspiration, from the bustling markets of Hanoi to the serene waters of Ha Long Bay. This trip would allow me to immerse myself in the arts, traditions, and natural beauty that make Vietnam unique. Through photography, I aim to capture the essence of Vietnam’s vibrant culture and landscapes—stories told through the lens, of both people and places. This journey will fuel my passion for connecting with new cultures, providing me with fresh perspectives that I can share with my clients and community. Vietnam’s rich heritage in arts and crafts deeply fascinates me. From traditional water puppetry to silk weaving, there is a wealth of artistic expression to explore. Experiencing these firsthand would enrich my understanding of cultural traditions and inspire creativity, which I plan to bring back and integrate into my work. It is through such cultural exchanges that we grow—both as professionals and as individuals. In addition to experiencing the arts, I see this journey as a profound opportunity for personal reflection. Vietnam’s stunning landscapes, from the terraced rice fields of Sapa to the Mekong Delta, offer moments of tranquility where one can reconnect with nature. These moments would help me recharge, reflecting on my professional goals and reigniting my passion for inspiring others. On a professional level, this trip will enhance my ability to engage with diverse clients. The experience of navigating a new culture will provide me with insights into empathy and adaptability, qualities that are essential when building strong, lasting relationships. As I continue to meet new people and share stories from my journey, I will be able to motivate others to step out of their comfort zones and embrace new opportunities. Moreover, this trip aligns with my passion for inspiring others. By sharing my experiences in Vietnam—through photography and social media—I hope to encourage my clients and community to seek out their own adventures, embrace diversity, and appreciate the beauty in different cultures. Travel is not just about the places we visit, but the stories we bring back and how they shape us. Ultimately, this journey to Vietnam is about growth—both personal and professional. I look forward to the opportunity to explore Vietnam’s beauty, connect with its people, and share these experiences with those around me.

Traveling the world is an incredible adventure that broadens perspective, deepens understanding of different cultures, and creates lasting memories. Let me tell you a story of two individuals who find their way in travelling like no one else. There are two individuals swirling around each other since college days without realising that they some day will talk and their endless talk will never ever end. Yes i am talking about me and my friend, girlfriend and now Wife, Aarushi, our love resolution started with meeting once as friend after college days, a travel changed everything of us. We live around 2500 Kms apart after college, since we couldn't meet so expressing whole of ourself was never a joy via social media, we decided to meet at Beach place Goa, India where waves of nature helped us in expressing our love towards each other. This is the first whole day together meet we had and sitting at beach side makes us feel so romantic that we asked about being together for life just like those waves coming to shores since forever. We felt our love as pure as this sea and felt we will live together forever and ever. Now after this meeting goodbye seems as difficult as pulling oceans apart while formation of Mountains. We felt really great that next time we planned meeting after a while that too at beautiful hill station in India i.e. Ooty. Our compassion towards each other is realised with how we love to travel and stay together with each other. Since than we are travelling far far at places together now and with wishlist that will never end. We enjoy traveling more importantly also because that had made us reach near to each other as we leave every ounce of other work apart, live together fondly in heart of nature which we feel makes us closer and closer. Each trip around the world brings new experiences, and the world is your oyster, full of possibilities. Live life to fullest and Embrace & Enjoy the journey!
