About Me...

I am a coffee aficionado. Here are the coffee brands that I adore and recommend everyone (in decreasing order of liking): KCRoasters, Blue Tokai, The Flying Squirrel, Seven Beans co., and the all-time regulars Nescafe.
Many people misconstrue my name as "~~Amartya~~" (after Nobel Memorial Prize-winning Indian economist Amartya Sen). But my parents put a little too much effort ransacking libraries to search for a name and eventually came up with Amatya from the biography of king Harshvardhan's which means an "administrator" or "minister." I speak English, Hindi, terrible French and even-more-terrible Pahadi. I like music and I believe that the likeability of music depends on the current state of mind and very less on the taste of an individual. Check out some of my playlists.. Besides this, I live in Himachal, the "Snow-Laden Province" of India. At times, I capture the beauty of himalayas and nature in general, check out here.
