About Me.

I see what no one sees. I am blessed with a strong intuition that helps me understand humans, ideologies, situations, and events in depths which usually are not penetrated. I hone my intuition by constantly studying a vast range of subjects. My personal library is enormous in terms of physical books, kindles, google play books, Scribd subscriptions and downloads. I am always learning, evolving, growing, and becoming more learned versions of myself.

The core area of my work is about transitions and transformations; I work on popular and street culture where I see desires and bargains for social change. I study civic amenities of cities where I see social class, land prices and upward mobility. I study economics of industry in which I see chronic overproduction and risks of unemployment and I study macroeconomic policy with an eye towards the development of democratic politics. I find repressions in revolutions and revolutions in repressions, I find sources of economic distress in times of rapid growth, and prospects of growth and revival in times of lull. I find social and political factors in natural disasters, ideological constraints in failure of public deliveries in education and health, look at violence on women as problems of an upwardly mobile society. I am not hung up on any single position, I do not subscribe to fixed ideologies nor to dogmas. My inner world of intellect combines population growth, enduring recession and lingering unemployment, upward social mobility, democratic politics, crisis in health and education, breakdown in city services, violence on women, growth of fascism, evolution of popular culture and propagandist media all rolled into one exhaustive phenomenon consisting of everyday life I live and work in. I have worked as a policy economist with the Ministry of Steel, Government of India for the past 34 years. I have been a scholar too of sociology, my PhD being in sociology from Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi.
