Hello, lovely folks of the Couchsurfing community! I am an Indian expat, now living in the beautiful and quiet city of Eindhoven, Netherlands. I came here for work, and has been love with the city ever since. I recently bought a house in this city, and a room has been lying idle, yet furnished - which is why I thought of playing host! I really enjoy travelling and also meeting and talking to people from diverse cultures. I have travelled to over 20 countries, and I am eager to travel more. I believe that all of my personal growth has come from travelling and meeting people from diverse backgrounds, culture and beliefs. ** HOUSE RULES ** 1. No smoking or use of drugs inside the house. 2. You can use the kitchen and use some of our ingredients, but I won't be able to cook for you specifically. Of course, we could cook together if time permits. 3. Please keep the home and bathroom tidy.

Perché sono su Couchsurfing
My goal as a host is to understand and offer help to people - I believe in paying it forward. I believe that everyone can teach you something new and interesting. Remember "what is obvious to you is amazing to others". So, I am always looking to hear interesting stories and experiences. I think it's this exchange of stories and life experiences that makes us better human beings. My only requirement - be kind and don't forget your sense of humour at home ;)
Musica, film e libri
As an Indian, my exposure to music is limited to Indian music, though I listen to English songs as well. Indian artists I like are - AR Rahman (the GOAT), Shankar Ehsaan Loy, Sonu Nigam Some artists I listen to (occassionally) - Ed Sheeran, Linkin Park, Bruno Mars. I also enjoy R&B and Afrobeat. Basically anything that helps me groove and shake a leg 😉 I am a huge movie buff - My favourite movies are: - The Shawshank Redemption - Game Night (I've had a lifelong crush on Rachel McAdams) - 500 Days of Summer - Parasite - Pulp Fiction - Knives Out Series - La La Land - Literally any movie from Pixar studios. - Bangalore Days (Malayalam) - Kumbalangi Nights (Malayalam) - Thallumala (Malayalam) FYI - Malayalam movie industry consistently produces some of the best movies that come out of India. Give it a try ;) Series: - Breaking Bad - Sherlock - Narcos - Ted Lasso - Wonder Man - The Day of the Jackal - Lessons in Chemistry Books - anything in the thriller/mystery genre. Some of my favourite books are: - Not a penny more, Not a penny less by Jeffrey Archer - Going Zero - All books of Keigo Higashino - All books of Andy Weir (Project Hail Mary is a classic!)
Una cosa straordinaria che ho fatto
1 - attended a Coldplay concert - it was one of the loveliest, most amazing shows I've been to. 2 - Went from being a couch potato to a 5k runner - it took a lot of patience and training :) 3 - NYE party with fellow couchsurfers in London. It was the most fun I've had in a long while, and I danced my heart out.
Insegna, Impara, Condividi
I've been an engineer all my life, so the best support I can provide is tech support :D Jokes apart, I can join you in conversations about probably any topic under the sun. I love discussing anything related to tech, philosophy, the meaning of life, our purpose in this world and such :) I'm also told that I'm a good photographer, and I'm happy to take pictures for you. I also like to dance and I'm up to hit a club and break a leg at any time 😄
