About Ravi

I am a 24 year old Toronto native who has come to blogging simply to have a space where I can share the thoughts which permeate my utterly restless mind. I am a graduate of the University of Toronto and have recently completed my Master’s degree in the Department of Political Studies at Queen’s University. My primary academic interests are constitutional politics and the role of Canada’s judiciary in public policy.

Currently, I am a marketing and communications intern at an environmental non-profit in Toronto and am absolutely loving the experience. In previous lives I have been a technical writer, a copywriter for a public relations firm, and have even worked at a daycare and as a tutor. During my time at Queen’s University, I was also a teaching assistant for the courses “Introduction to Politics and Government” and “Canadian Government.” Other than that, I love baseball, boxing, Doctor Who, the novels of Philip Roth, and salmon. I suppose that’s me in a nutshell.

As I’ve said, I have come to blogging simply to have a space where I could share the thoughts running through my mind. Everything you read here is entirely my own. Nothing goes on this blog unless I have a passion for it and have something to say about it, and all content passes straight from my mind to the page. I pledge to do nothing more than provide insight, perspective, and hopefully a few laughs. Those are rare commodities these days, and if I can deliver any of them to any degree, then my mission is accomplished. I will do my best to post regularly, but as a result of many things (busy schedule, writer’s block), there may be long periods between posts.

    Ravi, I found you while googling Clay Shirky’s TED talk. I think the ideas in my lastest book, Consequential Strangers, will resonate with you. Do check it out. Part of the solution for the problems we face today is to open our eyes and hearts to the people we encounter on a daily basis–not just loved ones, but they guy who sells you your morning coffe, a gym buddy, a mentor–people we’re not “close” to in the traditional sense but who nevertheless make a huge difference in our lives.
