Behind this project

Bonjour, Hello, Namaste!

First, thank you for visiting and exploring this project. After immense hesitation, I finally kicked this off in February 2026, and fortunately, it took off. This remains very close to my heart – ça me tient à cœur, as we say in French. So I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to explore and connect with me.

Let me talk a bit about myself!

I was born and raised in India and currently live in Pune. Some people know me as Damien, a name I chose in 2019 while living in France, when my official name proved difficult for some people to pronounce. Some French natives on Instagram today say I simply met some lazy French folks. J’en sais pas (I don’t know). 

Well, I was happy to give myself a name anyway.

I’ve always liked having multiple projects in hand. For me, work is never quite enough. I’ve always been someone who likes to explore, learn and have multiple things going on at once. Over the years, that has led me down quite a few different paths.

In short, I work as a Project Manager in an IT company. I’m fortunate to have work that also allows me to pursue my other interests, and I’m certainly grateful for that.

Besides French, I’m also passionate about everything around health. In fact, life happened, and I ended up teaching Yoga for about two years around 2021-22.

Here’s a little glimpse of what I’ve accumulated along the way.

Today, these two active interests take an important space in my life. That’s how I channel my creative energy, and I must admit, it has become quite indispensable to me.

I suppose that in both French and health, what I explore is my curiosity, constant learning, and the need to keep creating something of my own. Therefore, after more than 7 years of learning, exploring and experiencing French, I’m now sharing some of that passion and what I’ve discovered along the way. Want to know more?
