About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Become better at languages, music and cleaning my room

ABOUT ME

There is always something fascinating about travelling.
I don't know whether it's the food(yum), the people(yay), the music( \m/ or \/..), the culture or the new way people look at the ordinary and show me their idea of reality.

I am Abhijit and I love life (and find it infinitely hilarious).

I always have a dangerous itch for curiosity and that motivates me to travel (to sometimes forbidden places) and meet new people. (so If you do receive a Couch request from me, please be assured that I am not doing it for free lodging but to genuinely try to learn something to fill in my blissfully vacant mind !!)

I manage to gel in with most of the people to make really really awesome memories

I love to party too :) DnB, Dubstep and break are usually my electronic music poison.

Jazz Festivals to Wacken, Classical recitals to Dubstep and Jungle gigs to Reggae circles, I always find myself at the oddest and the most wonderful places ever... Following the music is a nice way to plan out travels :) !!

I also love, love, love learning. If there is absolutely anything small that I can learn, I try to acquire it as a skill because of an infinite reserve of curiosity.

PHILOSOPHY

Well To be fair... I am too young to have a set personal doctrine or Dogma that I would like to follow for the rest of my life or for even a short period of time.

Travelling for meis all about discovering other people while discovering yourself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I always tend to travel to places where couchsurfing doesn't exist -.-"... The times, I do travel to a known place, I end up having a friend who can help me crash so I just try to host as many people as I can whichever part of the world I am.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Ahhhh.... Ok so I haven't officially surfed from the website yet... (unattractive asian brown guys usually have a hard time finding a host -_-")

Interests

Music :
If you are a guitarist, drummer, bassist, vocalist, keyboardist, percussionist, beatboxer, rapper etc. and you want to find out all the music hotspots in India or just want to jam with the music scene in India. Hit me up :) !!

Trekking

Rock climbing and bouldering

Listening to stories about everyone from everywhere !!

Technology, Engineering, advances in code (or to be fair, simpler ways to program the same).

Staying up late at night with coffee and a book

Funny cartoons !!

Psychology, METT and all of Paul Ekman's research.

I think I should stop and just say I am probably interested in everything there is to offer :) !! So hearing your opinions, your stories your music would be awesome !!

Music, Movies, and Books

I had made a huge list of the music and books I am into over here, but I think the point is lost since no one really reads everything you write in a listed format -.-"...

So I guess I should say that I love Jazz, Classical, Fusion, Indie, acoustic and SPECIALLY *The Blues*

My childhood roots are and always will be Rock, Metal (Death, Black, Djent, core, Thrash, speed, melodic, alternative, hard, heavy, Technical, Post, industrial, grind included), Punk, Alternative rock,

But in a party when I am into EDM I love listening to Reggae, DnB, Breakbeat, Dubstep, Electronica, Trip Hop, Ambient/Drone, Psy, Trance, Goa etc. (I like Techno and house but really not the mainstream Guetta stuff >_t bore you with my playlist. I have a little laptop on the table connected to a pair of speakers. Play whatever you want :D !!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Oh dear... my amazing is usually everyone else's bizzare or stupid ._."

Well I guess one of them would have to be hiking in Ladakh.

It was -14 there and while I have faced colder temperatures, because of the lack of oxygen life becomes really really difficult.

So I was like an idiot rock climbing with my friend and was ready to give up and just call it quits...

Forget about my body, my mind was screaming in pain and telling me to STOP RIGHT NOW...

My Belayor saw that I was exhausted and yelled at me to take a small break... But the winds were bad and holding on even for a back brace was really hard.

Things were getting a tad bit rough and I was about to shout out the *falling* command and let go..when suddenly... *ahem* I'll complete the story over a beer when you meet me ;) !!

Cheers xD !!
