01Featured Reflection

Morocco and the
Memory of Landscapes

There are countries that impress through scale, and others that remain with you through atmosphere. Morocco belongs to the latter.

Its landscapes do not merely appear beautiful; they feel inhabited by memory — desert light, mountain silence, ancient cities, wind-shaped earth, everything connected by a continuity older than modern movement itself.

A nation's relationship with beauty is never accidental. It reflects values. Restraint. Stewardship. Memory.

03About

A Life Shaped by Service,
Geography and Memory

I did not begin my life intending to create books. Much of my early life was shaped instead by service, engineering, leadership, and movement across very different worlds.

I was trained at the National Defence Academy and commissioned into the Indian Army, where I served for over two decades — work that shaped my understanding of leadership, discipline, and the deeper relationship between geography, culture, and nationhood. For my service, I was awarded the Vishisht Seva Medal.
