I am an entrepreneur, a musician, a social media strategist, an online marketing expert, a political news junkie, founder of two non-profit projects and a business and technology-centric blogger.

The primary purpose of “Not My Forte’” is to discuss variety of different topics and issues candidly and openly. The secondary reason for this blog is to attract like-minded people who can contribute to these discussions and offer different perspectives.

The goal is to showcase “Not My Forte’ as an open platform to connect people on discussions about anything and everything that impacts our lives and also topics that are close to my heart i.e. Politics, International Affairs, Religion, Business, Marketing, Internet, Social Media, Food, Music, Charitable causes and Life in general (and not particularly in that order). I don’t claim to be an expert on anything (hence the name “Not My Forte’”) however I am an avid reader who is always hungry for more knowledge and a newer perspective. I read more than I write and I write only when I know it will offer a seasoned viewpoint to the discussion.

I am interested in communicating with you, connecting with you and possibly working with you in terms of sharing ideas, learning things, teaching things and resolving complex ideas with simple solutions.
