Sourabh De

During the day, Sourabh is the quintessential corporate creature, for more than two decades. At other times, he turns into an amateur archeologist and historian. An avid quizzer and global traveler, this 46-year-old is afflicted by a disease called ‘curiosity’. He has ventured into some of the most inaccessible places on Earth, with his astronomical telescope gear and field notes. Having lived in 18 cities, the whole world is his home and Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam is his mantra. As for his DNA, that’s the same as everyone else, ever since modern humans, Homo sapiens, emerged 300,000 years ago in Africa. He weaves stories to provoke germinal questions about history and universe. When it gets too heavy, he switches to light-hearted short stories from the world and 'live' people around him, as well as the 'ghosts' from the past. One day, Sourabh hopes to solve the conundrum, whether ‘existence’ is indeed a trillion-episode, intergalactic Matrix-like reality game show on prime-time, which the producer can take off-air, as we speak.
