About Myself Born in Mumbai, I grew up in a South Mumbai neighborhood, where I first experienced the rapid urban transformation to cope with growing demands. The Erector Set or Mecanix, which I was gifted in my childhood, has had a intriguing effect on me with the possibilities and ways of constructing. It is with this background that I have set about on the journey to discover the process and techniques of building.
