Quote

I wanted to get a job being creative, and I did.

Till the time I found a creative outlet, I was trying to be extra creative at business, which would always put me in a situation of conflict with other stakeholders. The moment I started writing, my creative impulses were finally channelised.

I've now returned to the business again because I finally realised that I really enjoy the creative process.

There are just certain realities about our world and I just happen to be creative within it.

Doing acting opened up other creative outlets; it made me feel freer as an artist.

As the years went by I became a writer and illustrator, although exclusively of fantasies.

I realised I had to work in something creative, but with a business and global element. And that I had to do it while I was still young and had an appetite for risk.

I just want to stay creative, share my ideas and see where it all leads.

I'm engaged in food on so many levels, and I love that. So my work, my craft, is around food, and writing is one aspect of it; communicating a narrative, cooking online is one aspect of it; solving the food chasm that we have in Harlem and finding a farmers market is another one, and all of them are equally exciting for me.

My passion stems from seeking world peace and finding how we can live together creatively rather than violently.
