Overview
About Me
I am a health care professional working in the pharmacovigilance sector. I love working around the safety and well being of patients. Beside work, I love growing kitchen garden essentials and I have a small garden of my own. The aroma of earth when I water my plants blows my senses away and I love the soothing sensation when I use my hands to dig around the soil. Also I am passionate about cooking and I try making new recipes. I am a keen traveller and I love visiting new and exciting destinations. I visited almost all places situated in coastal Karnataka where I pursued my master's. I am fond of creating DIY stuffs and I love painting. Furthermore, I practise Nichiren Buddhism and I feel privileged to come across this life transforming philosophy.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love meeting new people with whom I can experience cultural diversification. Meeting local people where I visit will help me to enrich deeper understanding of culture and values which that place holds. I believe in expanding my friendship globally and Couchsurfing is the best platform that will provide me excellent opportunity to do so. Also I am passionate about hosting to people and share with them whatever knowledge I have as a means to fulfil back to the travelling community. Moreover, the element of spontaneity and unpredictability prepares me to have an exciting and thrilling experience.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I donate blood every 4 months and it helps me create good cause for the people who are in need. I am an ardent follower of Nichiren Buddhism and I am a part of Bharat Soka Gakkai (Value creating organisation) and the main purpose is to create a castle of happiness. Every week I visit at least one person to encourage and support them in their life's struggle where I conduct a heart to heart dialogue. I believe in the spirit of leaving no one behind and taking everyone along with me to the path of happiness.
In short I do amazing things almost everyday!
