His first book “The Companion” was published in 2006 and asked questions about life, relationships and spirituality.
As a former Millennium Laureate, Nikhil has been nationally recognized by the Government of Canada for his leadership skills and for his work in improving the lives of youths experiencing challenges due to their social, economic and cultural backgrounds in St.John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador. He has done numerous volunteer projects around the world including Ghana and Kathmandu, Nepal. He has a background in broadcasting and worked as a freelance journalist for five year with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC). His media-based company, Youth of the Nation was featured nationally on the television show Street Cents.
Currently he splits his time working as a resident physician for Eastern Health in Newfoundland, and conducting research in the field of rheumatology and previously in the area of waitlist management with the Western Canada Wait List Project. His essay “I’m a medical student who smokes” was published in The Globe and Mail in September 2011.
Nikhil is passionate about furthering his ability to touch the lives of people positively. To that end he started “Letters for the World” (www.lettersfortheworld.com) in 2012 which is a website that features messages from people from all walks of life who share their unique life experiences with the world. As he writes in his introduction of Letters- “this is a place where we get to share the best of our humanity- our hope, our joy, our wisdom and our love for one another”. Nikhil believes firmly that everyone has a story and message which can serve as an inspiration to others and make this world a better place.view less
