Naren

Naren is a mechanical engineering graduate and has had stints in corporate and startups. Taking a break from his start-up he started to travel across the country with the intention to experience whatever was on offer, many times it was unconscious with just a need for moving. Being close to Nature and varying landscapes along with the practice of Yoga were the source of building awareness of existence. It was enough to give the feeling of contentment temporarily. These travels instigated an exploration of the scriptures, primarily the Upanishads. Also, he was drawn into a childhood interest of writing the experiences in the form of narratives.
