ABOUT ME

To describe any human, words are always less. Will try to describe myself anyway. Spiritual and a Sufi guy. Am always in need to explore things/places, cultures, history, people. Love Photography and People. Traveling is fuel to my life. I believe that everything in this universe is made of love, energies & vibration. You get exactly the same kind of energies you give. Love small things in life like Rain drops falling, smell of the mud, sun setting, reading a book, cycling, music, treks, looking at people smile. Would prefer Mountains over City any day.

I believe in being real than to be 'perfect'.

PHILOSOPHY

Do good, Be good (In short) but when you go deep into it, we need an all night conversation my friend.
Also, having beautiful parents like I have and the philosophy they follow has made my life much easier to live in this mad world. I follow the path of 'Radha Soami' (Google it to know more). It means 'Lord of the Soul'.

The more real you get the more unreal the world gets - John Lennon

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have a hosted travelers (as of Feb. '19) from US, Germany, Turkey, Netherlands, Russia, France, US and have met a lot of couch surfers for coffee, walks etc.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

For me, couchsurfing experience has been just beautiful. Have met people from almost all around the world. Knowing them and their culture has been just terrific. Also, hosting surfers has made me & my family become a part of this beautiful experience. In a way, it has taught me to become a better host not only to surfers but also the guests at home. In a way, it has taught me to become a better person.

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

In 2013, I made a new year resolution to travel every month. So, I traveled to 25 cities, almost 40,000 Km, around 5 months and spent 85,000Rs (almost 1200$).

I feel lucky to have lived and born in a country like India, where you can do anything and everything. I remember, Gregory Robert wrote in his book Shantaram, "India is a place where the heart is king", it is so true. Have been traveling since the last 3 yrs. and have met so many people from all over India that it just lets me fall in love with this country.

One Amazing thing I have experienced:
One of the most beautiful things happen to be was where this young girl living on the streets of Bandra (Mumbai) had become friends with me. I taught here to write Numerical Nos' 1 to 31. Because it was the month of March. I asked her to tick everyday and when day 29 comes, wish me happy birthday (29th March) to which she agreed. I had forgotten. 31st March I cross the same road and this sweet girl calls me I stop to see who was calling me, I saw her. She came running and there was something she was hiding. I asked her "what is it ?", she told me to close my eyes and she told me to open. It was a 2 day old rose which she bought for my birthday. I was awestrucked. Something I will NEVER forget.
