My go-to spot is the Garhwal Himalayas, with a gorgeous view of the Nanda Devi - the Goddess of the Himalayas from the comfort of my veranda at home in the Garhwal Hills. That's nature in its full glory and its beauty and scale are both very humbling. 

Qn. What is one thing that people do not know about you?

Whenever I have a creative block, I turn to music.

Nature itself is an inspiration - mostly hills and rivers, besides that, I also find inspiration in all kinds the classical/folk music.
