About VJ

I love to write! It is fun to see your thoughts. As far back as I can remember, I enjoyed writing stories and poems.

My career has taken a meandering path, but I’ve always managed to express myself through words. I studied homeopathic medicine in India and was a practicing physician for a little while. Practicing homeopathy means taking a holistic approach. I found just as much satisfaction in learning about my patients as people, as I found in helping them. Moving to the US, I began a tryst with science by enrolling in a doctoral program. I found that getting a Ph.D. in neuroscience was as much a discovery of myself as it was the pursuit of scientific truth. And before I realized it, I found myself applying the principles of data science to real world problems at various organizations. Interesting journey so far, to say the least.

In addition to my passion for writing, I enjoy traveling and exploring, sketching, and cooking gluten-free and dairy-free fare. I’ve even taken to making healthy, home-made meals for my dog which he seems to really like (..I think 😉.) I continue to have a deep interest in health, wellness, disease, and remedy. I believe I’ve come a full circle of relying on holistic methods of healing over much of contemporary medicine.

My primary past-times are walking with my dog, and sending cool photos I take to family and friends.
