WHO AM I Being born in the village of Suryapura, Begusarai District in the Bihar state of the India, I feel very fortunate that crafts were a part of my daily life right from the childhood, which were unrealised till i got mature and was exposed to the world outside. After coming to the Indian institute of crafts & design, Jaipur, Handicrafts which were an intergral part earlier have become more prominent. Technologically i am addicted to camera and have a passion for Photography.
