About

Hey there, thanks for stopping by.

I’m Anup. I like solitude, buses with empty seats, solo journeys with my camera, quiet seashores, the rain outside a window, small cafes, late nights with a book, travel shows, and sharing a tea with friends.

I’m an Entrepreneur and the Founder CEO of Security Quotient. I discovered the domain of cyber security by chance and it became an important part of my life. I’m also a Certified Information Systems Auditor.

I am deeply interested in technology and love tinkering with it.

I’m also a deep student of film-making. I write, direct (…and edit) films under my own banner, OpenCinemas.

I admire O V Vijayan, Ruskin Bond, James Herriot, Marquez and Pottekkat. My favorite genres are Zen stories, Vietnam, Biographies, and Cricket from the 80s & 90s. I love to fall asleep gently by reading.

I’m curious about Wabi-Sabi. I recently discovered the beautiful concept of Kintsugi.

I collect and repeatedly watch films by Kurosawa and Wong Kar Wai (we share the same birthday). My favorite 3 are In the Mood for Love, Rashomon, and The Band’s Visit. My secret idea of a perfect world is Kurosawa discussing the next frame with Wong Kar Wai or Wasim Akram bowling to Vivian Richards with Curtly Ambrose warming up to bowl the next over.

I love to travel, click pictures and cook for family and friends. I’ve done a bit of SCUBA diving and am a certified open-water diver.

But, more than anything else, I am father to Nava and Jeeva, life partner to Smitha, and friend to a precious few.
