I have synchronized my emerging youthfulness with jaunty college life very gracefully to acquire some training available in India for Rock climbing, Mountaineering, Swimming, Rafting, Water & Ice Skiing and Parasailing in addition to my hobby bound Skating, Biking and extensive wondering as a Traveler.

Since 1990, I am Honorary President & Founder of Parikrama Nature Adventure and Sports Institute, one of the leading and outstanding organizations of Gujarat state of India engaged in all kinds of adventurous activities, nature and environmental education, wildlife and its protection, forest conservation, health and fitness, youth development and philosophy of life.

Utterly from the beginning, being as son produced by me, it is very popularly known by the name given by me in endearment that is “Parikrama - an environment loving institution of adventurous youth who invades river, sea, jungles, mountains, deserts & sky”. This institute is famous for its peculiar, unique and special adventure every year in the state of Gujarat. It is the only institute of India, which is recognized in Limca Book of Records for three times.

A gang made of some devoted & qualified nature & adventure lover of this institution had advocated education according to the demand of the present era of adventure and eco-tourism through many kinds & types of programs & expeditions from one day outing to camping, trekking, hiking, mountaineering, river rafting, water & ice skiing, parasailing and 2 & 4 wheeler adventure with only one motto the "Development of Youth".

In the name of adventure, more than 50 courses as an Honorary Instructor for state Mountaineering Institute, Gujarat State at their various centers and about 85 adventurous events including 8 Peak climbing expeditions into the Himalayas, rafting expeditions on many hard sections of rapid in some Himalayan rivers of India & Nepal including two very risky rafting events on river Narmada and few extra ordinary two wheeler expeditions were successfully imparted by me as a team member or leader including three entries recorded in the Limca Book of Records.

I am connected with over 1,00,000 like minded enthusiasts all over the globe on Internet through many activities at many platforms so as to exchange information, ideas, experiences, blogs, videos, photos & many more with each other’s.

As an Author I have published seven books. Describing my first literary work “The Ultimate of Life”, I must write that all of us knows very well that all aspects of our life utterly depend on our relation with God. As such, since its inception, the entire mankind is found in practice to take His shelter, especially for “Happy Living”. By my life experiences, I found a very surprising truth that only to satisfy this purpose of life we believe in many names, forms, incarnations, manifestations, deities, prophets, messengers and gurus, otherwise, almost all of us very strongly agree and commit this universal truth that there is ONLY ONE GOD!

My book “Life, Universe, Body, Mind, Soul, God & Religion insomuch that I am understood!” is all about happy living. It explains everything about life in very easy to understand way with scientific and philosophical overviews. I made an honest effort to include all thoughts, ideologies, concepts and religions of the world at one place. I firmly believe that in this way, till date, it is the first ever book which enable you to compare your own way of living with all the others. It is available at: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1534661263

A series of five books of “Happy Adventuring!” is very carefully designed by me to make all interested enthusiasts truly relax from all that being a beginner we always are- absolutely confused, hesitated and highly worried about what activity, where, how and with whom you should lead off your own self to enjoy the thrill of an adventure. All Guys and Gals of the world, especially of India, and very particularly of Gujarat, whether interested in Adventurous activities or not, should read this book because it covers all the information that a growing youngster must require.

So dear friends, enjoy reading my books.
