About Parth:

Introduction

I like to think about myself as an intellectual who has an unusual way of perceiving things. I think a lot, and sometimes my musings are excessively narcissistic. I have a penchant for writing- which I fulfill by passionately writing my own blog. Here’s the link: somuchfordreams.blogspot.in
