Hello there! I’m a Social Science Researcher and Policy Analyst working at Peninsular Research Operation Pvt. Ltd., based in the bustling neighborhood of Teynampet, Chennai, where the traffic is as complex as the research papers we churn out!
I spent my early years in Muscat, Oman, but when it was time for higher studies, I packed my bags (and my curiosity) and flew down to Chennai. Now, Chennai and Oman might be just a few flight hours apart, but let me tell you — the contrast in lifestyles is like comparing a beach vacation with a roller-coaster ride! The people, their behaviors, the fact that you can find different strata of people in the same sq. ft area... it all got me thinking — and thinking some more.
Why Social Science?
I'm intrigued by people and their choices. Why do we do what we do? And sometimes, why do we do the things we really shouldn’t? (*cough* binge-watching reality TV instead of working *cough*). These questions led me to research, and I've been trying to figure out the "why" behind our actions ever since.
For my Master's thesis, I dove into research with children living in residential institutions. The experience opened my eyes to the complex emotions, thoughts, and challenges that shape a person's life. After all, the human mind is like a never-ending game of Sudoku — the more you think you've figured it out, the more you realize there’s still work to be done!
What’s My Blog About?
This blog is a mix of personal reflections and my professional research work. I’ll share some reviews, stories from my own life, and my thoughts on topics that really matter to me — both personally and academically. One day, I might dive into a policy analysis; the next, I could be reviewing the latest show on Netflix or telling you about my latest life adventure (yes, those happen too!).
So buckle up, and welcome to my world — it’s a blend of science, a dash of policy, and a sprinkle of fun!
