About the author, CA S Srinivasan

 Hi.

Thank you for reading my blogs & finally coming to this page "About the author"

My name is Srinivasan. I am based in Mumbai (India).

I am a self employed Consultant.

I love to read, travel, hear good (Indian classical) music, and blog.

Originally, I intended to focus on music when I began my blogging journey by sharing my musical experiences in 2015. However, after a couple of articles that year, I faced a four-year gap before publishing my next piece in 2019, following a vacation to South Africa. Therefore, for all intents and purposes, my active blogging truly commenced in 2019.

I discovered that when I write about my travels, it helps me relive those experiences when I read my blogs later. Likewise, my fellow travelers encouraged me to share my thoughts, and it probably helped them relive their experiences too.

During most of these vacations, which usually lasted more than a week, I began making different blogs. For example, there's one for the 2019 South Africa trip, another for the 2022 Markha Valley, and one for the 2022 Odisha Trip. Each blog usually begins with an introduction, and each day's activities make up one chapter.

In May 2020 my mother passed away during the COVID period. The vacuum created by this made me come out with a tribute, a separate blog with a single chapter "Superwoman"

In June 2020 when COVID gave us long vacations, I started blogging about topics in Personal Finance. In these blogs I have tried to keep the language simple and relevant so that anyone with a little bit of knowledge about English can understand the same.

Over period of time I ended up writing on a variety of topics which can not be grouped under anything specific. These I bunched under "Random Thoughts"

I am a Commerce graduate & professionally qualified as a Chartered Accountant, Chartered Wealth Manager, Certified Financial Planner, Chartered Trust & Estate Planner and Qualified Personal Finance Professional.

I have learnt Indian classical music and consider my self very fortunate that I am able to understand and appreciate good music. As one of my music Gurus had said, there are 2 types of music - good & bad, learn to identify and enjoy the good music, be it classical, folk, film, Indian, foreign, or whatever!!

I love to jog and keep myself physically fit. In 2022 my brother, brother in law and a couple of friends introduced me to the amazing world of "mountain trekking", which I found to be an excellent outdoor activity and a transformative experience that has enriched my life in many ways.
