I'm on leave of absence from college, taking on different ventures. Currently I'm building my portfolio and training in an Ashtanga yoga practice.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have hung out with couchsurfing friends in the city but never stayed overnight.

I am ready to meet new people!
The couchsurfing site has been really welcoming.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I performed south indian classical dance for 3 hours in a grand debut solo performance; It's called an Arangetram. I spent a year in preparation.

I recently ran my first 10k in NYC.

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach: Hindi, discuss American & north Indian culture, Yoga, art

I learn: almost anything you want to teach me (cooking, new music, dance, style, language, et al.)

I like collaborating with people in art projects and playing surrealist games.
