About : avanishmaurya

Full Name Avanish Maurya

A simple guy next door. When my friends felt bore with history and geography books, I was in love with those. But the fate brought me in the club of engineers in making. Left house to stay in hostel and it gave me wings to fly. The travel bug bitten early during engineering days and after that it became my strength and weakness. Incidentally, became an Air Traffic Controller and controlling those giant metallic birds fueled further to my burning desire. Just bought a new Avenger 220 to explore the roads less travelled. For me life is always going on..You can also catch me at my blog www.solobackpacker.com
