Excited about a sustainable future? Let’s connect!
Hi, my name is Om, and I am passionate about exploring new possibilities for effective public policies towards a sustainable future.
“A canny Lad, eh!”
The word ‘Canny’ conveys qualities of intelligence, caution and moderation, depending on how it is used in context. In Newcastle, also known as Geordie Land, the term is commonly used to describe someone intelligent, witty, resourceful, or sensible.
About me
“Polished shoes, unfinished thoughts, and a grayscale photo to hide the existential dread. Old sport.”
Thanks for visiting — I hope something here resonates with you. Feel free to explore around, and if something clicks, I’d love to hear from you.
“O ye’ll take the high road, and I’ll take the low
And I’ll be in Scotland afore ye
For me and my true love will never meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o’ Loch Lomon”

Monochrome over Colours.
Monochrome photography, particularly black and white, holds a unique place in the world of visual art. While colours vividly capture the reality of life, black and white imagery transcends the literal to delve into a more artistic realm. By removing colour, monochrome photography encourages the viewer to focus on textures, contrasts, light, and shadow, revealing subtleties that might otherwise go unnoticed.
The absence of colour invites a more poetic interpretation of the world, where the shades of grey between black and white evoke emotion, mood, and narrative depth. It’s a medium where art is not just seen but felt, transforming the ordinary into timeless expressions of visual poetry.

If Everything Is Entrepreneurship, Where Is the Scope for Innovation?
Yesterday, I visited the Subhadra Shakti Mela in Bhubaneswar—an event designed to showcase the work of women-led Self-Help Groups (SHGs) from across Odisha. With more than 300 stalls displaying handloom, arts and crafts, food products, and rural innovations, the atmosphere was vibrant and full of energy. The confidence of the participating women was unmistakable. Many…
What is boredom?
Boredom, in today’s world, has earned a bad name. We treat it as an affliction — something to be cured by a screen, a scroll, a notification. But I’ve begun to wonder if boredom is not the absence of excitement, but the absence of awareness. A life becomes boring when it loses its pulse — not…
