Born in Kinnakorai village near Ooty, surrounded by hills, forests, and farms, being with nature was a way of life from an early age. Though later moving to an urban setting, those roots of connection remained strong. As a teacher, a guiding question emerged: What does it mean to live responsibly in this world? This reflection shaped a commitment to sustainable living and conscious education.

As a TFN fellow, the hope is to inspire young minds to live with awareness, respect, and care for the natural world — nurturing responsibility that lasts a lifetime.
