I’m Biswa, a wanderer of thoughts, a seeker of skies,
A quiet old soul with dreams that never truly dies.
I walk through this world with a heart open wide,
Finding beauty in moments most people let slide.

I lie under starlight where silence is deep,
As questions and constellations sing me to sleep.
I stand in the rainfall to wash worries away,
And dance with the storm like it’s teaching me sway.

By rivers I sit as their stories unwind,
They whisper of courage and leaving behind.
I follow slow pathways where mountains rise tall,
Not to reach any summit, just to feel it all.

Kolkata is my home, where I truly belong,
In its lanes full of history, I hear every song.
Old houses with memories, temples with flame,
Hidden untold stories that still speak my name.

I show wandering souls where the real city hides,
In food stalls with laughter, in sunsets at tides.
In forgotten old corners where time likes to stay,
And tales of the past never fully decay.

I write little verses, I sing when I can,
A creator, a dreamer, an unfinished plan.
Ideas keep blooming like monsoon’s first rain,
The mind of an entrepreneur, wild, unrestrained.

I cherish kind hearts and spirits that shine,
Not those wearing masks with intentions unkind.
If you lift others higher, then you’re welcome with me,
But not those who drain love or hide cruelty quietly.

If you’re someone who values the soft and the true,
Whose soul loves the simple, the old, and the new,
Then come walk beside me through stories untold,
Where moments turn magic and memories turn gold.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To connect, not to collect.
I believe the world becomes warmer when strangers meet without expectations. I’m not here for free lodging. I’m here to explore lives, swap stories, cook together, get lost, and make memories that outlast borders and bucket lists.

Interests

I’m endlessly curious about people, cultures, and the human heart. I love trekking into the wild, but I also love trekking into conversations that go deep. I enjoy cooking, eating, dancing like no one’s watching, and laughing till my stomach hurts. I’m fascinated by history, space, emotions, and everything that makes us feel alive. I believe human connection is the greatest adventure and I’m here for it.

• cooking and eating
• soulful conversations
• cross-cultural exchange
• understanding human nature
• trekking through wild trails
• spontaneous dancing and singing
• laughing without reason
• exploring love, emotion, and connection
• diving into history and geography
• dreaming about space, time, and the universe

Music, Movies, and Books

🎶 Music: I vibe with anything that fits the soul from romantic ballads to indie lo-fi, Sufi, pop, rap, and even songs I don’t understand but deeply feel. Music is my therapy, my escape, my rhythm of life.

📚 Books: I love books that make me think, feel, or heal from thought-provoking non-fiction like Sapiens to magical escapes like Harry Potter and soulful reads like The Alchemist. I’m also into thrillers and adventure stories that keep me hooked and curious. If a book changes my perspective or lingers in my mind, it’s a win.

🎬 Movies: I’m drawn to films that stir something inside like psychological thrillers, emotional romances, sci-fi adventures, and life-affirming stories. I admire movies like Shutter Island, Titanic, Interstellar, Kaithi, Into the Wild, Catch Me If You Can, and Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. If it makes me reflect, cry, laugh, or feel fully alive. That’s my kind of film.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

During the COVID-19 crisis and floods in my region, I quietly saved a portion of my monthly salary, bought food, clothes, and basic essentials, and personally helped around 30 families in need. No NGOs, no spotlight. Just a small human effort. That experience still fills me with more happiness than anything I’ve ever bought for myself.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: How to cook Indian food with love, romantic Bengali phrases that melt hearts, travel like a local, vibe like a crazy adventurer, and maybe even how to question life while stargazing.

Learn: Your stories, your traditions, your favorite comfort food, your way of seeing the world. Teach me something weird, something beautiful, or something your grandma passed down.

Share: Stories over tea, music that hits the soul, long walks, big laughs, honest talks, and those little moments that make life feel real. If you’re open to it, I’ll also share a piece of my culture, my chaos, and my connection to this strange, magical planet we all share.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I live with my parents in a cozy rented apartment in Kolkata. So while I love meeting people from around the world, I kindly expect guests to be respectful and mindful of the home environment.

You’ll have access to a clean, comfortable, shareable room that can accommodate up to 4 people. Please note: no alcohol or smoking is allowed inside the house as we maintain a clean, healthy, and family-friendly space.

But hey, beyond the rules, I promise you this
We’ll laugh, gossip, and chill over a good cup of Indian chai. If you love music, let’s jam. If you’re a foodie, I cook delicious, authentic homemade Indian meals, and I’d love to teach you how to make some too! 🍛🎶☕

We can explore the city together from famous sights to hidden gems and if you need help planning your trip around India, I’ve got you

And here’s a fun twist: If you’re a content creator, YouTuber, or trying to build your social media presence, I’d be happy to help. I currently support 2–3 creators with their thumbnails, video ideas, reach strategy, and channel growth. So yes, this could be both fun and productive for you 📸🎬📈

I’m not here just for a free place to stay. I’m here for a meaningful human connection. If that sounds like you too, we’ll get along just fine
