If you take 10,000 people at random, 9,999 have something in common: their interests in business lie on or near the Earth's surface. The odd one out is an astronomer, and I am one of that strange breed.

I'm a technological optimist in that I do believe that technology will provide solutions that will allow the world in 2050 to support 9 billion people at an acceptable standard of living. But I'm a political pessimist in that I am concerned about whether the science will be appropriately applied.

I am from a family of farmers from Budhana near Muzaffarnagar.

I am not an enemy of Adventism.

I am a strange creature. I want to challenge myself and keep people guessing with the roles I take.

I am a friend of Adventist people and a lover of truth.
