Trekking, which side-tracked him from the writing for which he quit his job, is a major passion and he does, at least, one trek in the Himalayas every year in addition to numerous local treks.He reignited his passion for writing with a fairly popular blog www.jambudweepam.blogspot.in and, currently, also has a short story published in a collection “Uff Ye Emotions”view less
