I am a polyglot and have a fascination towards languages which I started picking up on Duolingo with a 3800 day streak. I believe good reading is good breeding. Reviewing books was my hobby up until life got busy recently and I was India's most followed book reviewer for a few years. Would be happy to share book recommendations!

I have a background in neuroscience and post my MBA from San Francisco and worked in Phoenix, AZ for a while. I am now based out of India where I work as a Product Manager.

I play the Olympic sport of 10m Air Rifle as a semi professional and might be away for tournaments frequently (perks of being able to work as a PM remotely). But I would reply to your couchsurfing request in any case.

When I used to review books, I focussed on independent writers who do not have the backing of big publishers to bring them out for the masses. If my efforts can bring one single work to the mainstream masses, there are going to be tens of potential writers that will pick up their pens to tell their stories.

I have been part of Google's Local Guide program for two consecutive years and have featured in their advert in 2019.

Last year in 2023, I got to represent India at BRICS 2023 in Pretoria, South Africa for a Clean Energy project.

I believe every living moment we should strive to achieve something for ourselves or for the society.

A big fan of travelling and making connections. In my pursuit of visiting 193 countries of the planet, I run into people from various cultures, ideologies and mannerisms. I have a good collection of stories from around the world that I could share with you. :)

I have elephant long ears to hear yours too!
