I am Rahul Dev Vashisht.
I live
I've spent three dozen years on this beautiful planet, exploring its various facets. Born and raised in Delhi, though the city might not recognize me anymore, it will forever be a part of my roots. I've also woven the tapestry of my life through four other dynamic Indian cities.
I collect
In my travels, I try not to just visit new places but find their essence; capturing moments that resonate personally. Armed with my trusty 700D, an array of lenses, and my X80 Pro, I believe that the best camera is the one you have in your hand.
I write
When the sun sets, I transform into a poet, penning down the emotions I observe around me. I keep my poems simple, allowing you to feel rather than fumble for a dictionary.
I listen
A firm believer in the healing power of music, you'll often find me with headphones or earbuds, especially during tranquil nights. My Spotify library is a diverse mix, ranging from soulful ghazals to the raw energy of death metal. I aim to listen to at least one new artist or genre each day. And love it more when I share my new finds with those around me.
I sing
In addition to capturing life's visuals, I also love to express myself through song. Whether it's belting out rock anthems or the soulful tunes of Bollywood, I've dabbled as a frontman for rock bands during my college days, managing to make a few bucks along the way.
I ride
Love to get on my trusty old Thunderbird, find the nearest highway, and feel the world around me pass by. These rides are solo and often headed in the direction of mountains rather than the sea. Interestingly, these journeys are my private retreats; a time when I don't even carry my faithful camera. It's an intentional choice to immerse myself fully in the experience, letting the wind carry away the worries and the road unveil its own stories.
I play
My bass guitar and my harmonium. Very seldom. Can press a few keys and pluck a few strings on some weekends.
I work
Amid these passions, I find time to delve into the digital marketing realm for the corporate world.
