I was born on the 11th of December, 1976 at Ahmedabad close to the Sabarmati Ashram. My sojourn in life took me to various cities and towns like Somanath, Bardoli, Baroda, New Delhi and quite recently Mumbai.

My parents and my little sister form the core of my family relations. My father, Dr. S. N. Pandey who is a renowned archeologist works with the Department of  Museums as the Assistant Director for the state. My mother, Kamlesh Pandey is a school teacher and a major influence in bringing me up. My sister Anjali Pandey is currently a student in the MS University of Baroda.

My interests are varied but the major one is reading. I do quite a bit of serious reading ranging from religions, philosophy and technology. But I also love travelling and am facsinated by nature. Forests and mountains are the places where I love to travel. I do my bit of painting and cooking to round up my leisure activities. Sport is another love of mine and apart from watching it on television, I try my hand ( in some instances legs) at tennis, football and swimming. I also incorporate weight training and pranayama in my daily routine.

I have a vision of self actualization through giving humanity something to cherish about. Being a thoroughly religious person, I also aim of uniting with the poorna Brahma at the end of this human birth.
