Social activism & volunteering

"I want to improve the world, and I want to smell good while doing it " - Adam Rifkin.

Kindness, compassion, and eternal optimism while giving away hope to help underprivileged sections of society, will go a long way in creating a bright future for all of us. I have been passionate about using technology for bringing socio-economic changes. I have been actively involved in various causes to make this world a better place.
