About Me

I am a young (ya ya I look it too) and not so boring chartered accountant with a hectic work life. However, I take every opportunity to travel with my husband and get away from the hum drum of busy Mumbai life. By god's grace, Bangalore University let me graduate with the condition I move to Chennai to earn my bread. I was in Chennai for a short period before Bollywood land called out to me. No, fortunately for the well being of my fans I was not called for acting. I was working with one of the Big Four before I moved into to the industry of solar and mechanical contracting in Mumbai.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am interested in meeting people from different cultures / countries to live the experiences through their eyes. I am keen on talking about the varied cultures in my country and creating awareness about 'Incredible India'.

Interests

I love trekking which is my recent passion. I go for one day treks around Mumbai. Since I like to escape from my hectic work life, I have taken a liking to running. I run marathons frequently. There is a slight creativity in me (though being a chartered accountant), so I dabble in painting. Needless to say, I love to travel, read books and party hard.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am into soft rock and popular pop songs. I love beatles, scorpions, dire straits, madonna, david guetta, etc.
Favorite movie is difficult to pick. In genre, I love comedy and thrillers.
Jeffrey Archer has been an all time favorite (Kane and Abel, Cliffton Chronicles).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I sky dived from 13,000 feet in Interlaken. The 45 second free fall is the best experience till date.

Given an opportunity, I am interested in teaching dancing or being involved in dance workshops.
I am interested in learning about new experiences in places I have never traveled.
