About me
“Monks don’t retire to mountains for Nirvana, they go there in search of the
lost script”. That was me as an engineer looking for a place where my ‘ikigai’
of doing things could be realized. The feeling became fierce when I watched the
legendary trio of Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman creating
commotion. It was their court swagger that made me fall in love with the
nitty-gritty of the sport. After finding kinetics and mechanics of my life in
research and twisting plots, I ended up at EssentiallySports as an NBA writer. I
love to bring fan perspectives, with a little bit of cliffhanging effect, on the
table. The act makes me a representative of the masses and the classes eager to
offer two-cents on the game they treat larger than life.
