About Me

I'm a PhD student researching the Aadhar card and its implementation in Punjab. My research interests include bureaucracy, welfare, and development. In a former life I danced Bhangra competitively for Bhangra Empire.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As an anthropologist I much prefer hanging out with people than the homogenised translation aesthetic of a hotel room. Did you know they don't clean their glasses with water?
