Video
(The major proportion of the portfolio holds excerpts from academic work (Projects and Assignments) completed during the course of study at National College of Arts (NCA). They may not be equated with the professional growth and grooming in the professional field. I hold no right to include my professional work at television channels in the portfolio as it is property of the respective TV channels. I have taken excerpts from a few available public versions (YouTube) just to show and substantiate my relevant experience)
