About Me

I'm a Soka Buddhist. I run the only pet friendly cafe in Mumbai called Gostana.
https://www.facebook.com/gostanacafe

I'm very passionate about music, hence I'm a committee member at the prestigious Kala Ghoda festival in Mumbai to curate music programming.

I also love to cook. Sometimes I do blog my recipes. You can check it here.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm very interested to learn different cultures, cuisines, and music. What better way to interact with people. Currently I live in a temporary place. Can't host stay, but can definitely host a cup of coffee.
