I am everything but a specialist…..I am a jack of many trades but a master of one – I somehow know how not to stay stagnant!! While a day job as a Research Engineer pays my bills, I still live my dream out in the unknown lands- running towards different cultures across geographies to quench my wanderlust and observing the world from behind a camera lens. I actively pursue my interests of being behind the recording console, composing and engineering music which reflects my identity while getting on stage every once in a while with a guitar in my hand.

Like I said, I am everything but a specialist!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I likes to share my world, and speak my mind, with everyone around – through my songs, my music, my fellowships and associations. Staying close to the local lifestyle of a place excites me, and it makes my travels even more fruitful, meaningful and memorable. While couchsurfing, I wish to get up close with people from different walks of life, hear their stories and share them through my blogs and songs with my friends and peers back at home.

Interests

My life revolves around music - I am a singer/songwriter with interest in sound engineering.

An aimless wanderer, sharing the world I see from behind a camera lens. Never looked back since buying my first Nikon.

Always loved hiking and writing material for my songs- now trying my hand at travel blogging to unite these 2 interests of mine !!

Music, Movies, and Books

Living on the extremes with AC-DC, Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, Children of Bodom, Lamb of God. Metallica and Megadeth on one spectrum, and Pink Floyd, John Mayer, Keith Urban and John Butler on other - a small sample of what predominates my playlists.

Not an avid reader but enjoy reading fiction and travelogues every once in a while. William Dalrymple dominates the materials I am presently immersed in.

I have a particular inclination towards documentaries and video features on esoteric and investigative contents - ranging from contemporary topics to topics transcending into spirituality. Have had most of my backpacking experiences involving countless hours of discussions on these topics....so in case our interests do match in this regard, do get a pack of beer along - for we might be in for a long night!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Hiked and hitch-hiked through the desert mountain valley of Spiti, Himachal Pradesh (IND).

- Danced through the night in Half Moon Party in Thailand - under torrential tropical thunderstorm!!

- Managed to not get lost and somehow survive in geographies where I had no common language to help me out. (I don't care what other's say, but it's a goddamn achievement when traveling solo!!😋)
