Until better alternatives arrive, I subscribe to a center-left political position; I entertain cosmopolitan identity;  I marvel at the vastness of the universe and insignificance of a single soul in the grand scheme of things and appreciate the attempt by science to understand. I am grateful for the improbable luck of being born, and education received that supplied me with tools for thinking. I feel I am duty bound to return the blessings. I am a devotee of  ‘great books’ —in the sense the poet W.H. Auden used— for the enrichment of “mind or spirit or personality” to the extent of not imagining life without.

​

In 2016, I received a Ph.D. from Makerere University, Uganda and wrote a thesis dealing with land rights.  I am a published author on peer-reviewed outlets on subjects that lie within the disciplines of law and economics. Prior to the  Doctorate, I earned BA (St. Xavier’s college) and MA in Economics (Mumbai University). My academic interests include land rights, legal empowerment, Gender Studies, Social Psychology, and Behavioral Economics.

Professionally, I am engaged in research, training, project management, and Consultancy services. In my part time, I am novice essayist, or I would like to portray myself.
