Filmmaker from India. Been in Brooklyn for 7 years. My social life is buried in the independent filmmaker scene in NY which can get very tiring.
Hopefully I'll meet some invigorating people on here :) Met many many wonderful people in the past!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd been here for a couple of years a few years ago and then totally fell off.

Met a WIDE variety of people ranging from the distinctly fashionable to the intellectually stimulating/stimulated to the absolute barmy and ridiculous.
Lovely!

Music, Movies, and Books

I can only read a very specific kind of book now- of an introspective nature and with a very strong sense of physical spaces and the emotions they inspire- I like Murakami, Rushdie, Teju Cole.

Lots of films - current favorites are Royal Tenenbaums, Drive, Lost in Translation and very recently Lady Bird.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Took my grandmother and her sister to Paris, Venice and Rome.
