Happy Vishu and Tamil New Year! Grateful to be celebrating it in a place that still welcomes me home every time I visit — even if it’s not as often as I’d like.

Life has a way of nudging us back to forgotten passions. Recently, someone I’d met before asked for a set of photos for her restaurant chain. Nostalgia hit, but more so a sense of purpose—maybe it’s time to pick up the lens again!

It's been a long time since I have actively photographed, yet friends occasionally ask me to make wall prints for them. I’m currently working on a 44" width canvas print for a dear friend who insisted on having it in her drawing room - can’t wait to see it mounted!

Training isn't one way: it's more a dynamic exchange of knowledge. It’s abt structured facilitation, guiding thru discovery & applying insights to real-world scenarios. The goal isn’t just learning, but evolving together thru case questions. An enjoyable session this week!

Great energy at UXI! Loved catching up with old friends & making new connections. Exciting to hear perspectives on the future of design, there's so much demand, but not enough designers! Had a great impromptu recording too. Off to my next trip, taking back fantastic memories!

Absolutely! A well-known bank in SE Asia did this study as part of their design research and what came out was remarkably insightful in shaping their future direction. Wealth means different things to different people impacting the positioning of wealth products!

Pursuing something for the pure joy of it without expectations is truly gratifying. Photography takes me to that space. I was beyond thrilled to take a day off to support an initiative that I deeply resonate with. Getting back felt a bit rusty, but soaked in every minute!

What's the one part in us that does not change even when everything else does? To me it's: experiencing life to the fullest thru various rasas expressing that in full measure in the most apt form discovering the essence of it in new ways Essence, Expressions, Experiences

A question that I'm often asked is how can we move the needle from UX to service design. Happy to address this in my talk: From UX to Service Design: Aligning Strategy, Innovation & Integration at the UXI 24 conference. Do drop by if you happen to be in Bengaluru.

There is just no substitute to invested work. When we realize that, nothing else matters - our priorities become clear & we focus on that specific value creation. The branches will spread out again, but now from a stronger trunk & solid ground #reflections from home garden

Imagine you are a wildlife photographer, would you intervene or let the circle of life continue?

A wise friend & former senior colleague once said - what truly matters is our quality of living: - are we doing things that give us meaning - are we with the right set of people - are we doing things for fulfillment Be in harmony. Everything else is noise #onmymind today
