About the author, CA S Srinivasan

 Hi.

Thank you for reading my blog & coming to this page. Hope you enjoyed what you have read!

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. A 2019 vacation to South Africa sparked a renewed interest in blogging for me.

I realised 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; 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. So, there's one for the 2019 South Africa trip, another for the 2022 Markha Valley, and one for the 2022 Odisha Trip, and so on. 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 unexpected vacations, I started blogging about topics in Personal Finance. In these blogs, I have tried to explain personal finance concepts, empowering anyone curious about the topic to take control of their finances..

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 graduated in Commerce in 1987 from the University of Bombay as a Rank Holder & later qualified as a Chartered Accountant, Chartered Wealth Manager, Certified Financial Planner, Chartered Trust & Estate Planner and Qualified Personal Finance Professional. 

I began my professional career as a practicing Chartered Accountant in 1990, focusing on traditional areas such as Accounts, Taxation, and Audit. Once I had established a team to manage my traditional practice, I expanded my services to include Wealth Management, Financial Planning, and related fields.

As of November 2024, I have published over 200 blog posts, the majority of which focus on personal finance. The remaining posts are categorized as Random Thoughts, Travelogues, and Music.
