About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Master the universe. No, master thyself. Wait, are universe and thy interchangeable?

ABOUT ME

An attractive repellent, god fearing agnostic, sensous turn off, ugly adonis, frigid satyromaniac, sure and scared, straight and weird. Routine bores me, chaos interests me.

I refuse to classify myself into a trend. Call me neo-hippie if you must.

PHILOSOPHY

"If the doors of perception are cleansed, everything will appear to the man as it is, infinite" ~ Oscar Wilde

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
My work doesn't let me be on CS all the time (frequent travels) but whenever I get myself involved either hosting or meeting people, I only end up with positive experiences

Interests

Culture, art, astrophysics, music, consciousness, environment, sci-fi, global politics, sports(football, rugby, F1)

Music, Movies, and Books

Pink Floyd, Led Zep, Deep Purple, The Doors, The Who (bref, classical rock). I'm also a huge fan of experimental electronic music - M83, Royksopp, Boards of Canada, Air etc

Currently reading: Descarte's baby.
I'm an avid reader. I read anything from sci-fi to financial markets. It's difficult to narrow down to a bunch of books but if I have to absolutely pick up one, it'd be Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie.

I like watching movies. but I'm in it for soul satisfaction rather than visual joy. 3D and heavy graphics don't interest me. A good story and a great direction and cinematography is my kind of movie. Absolute favorite - The Following (1999)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Bush (wild) camping in game reserves in Namibia with lions, elephants and foxes.
- Trekking Torres del Paine in blissful isolation in peak winter. The Glacial winds and the freezing temperatures just added to the fun

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm originally from India and I have been living in Paris since 9 years. I understand both cultures inside out. So I'm more than happy to share my culture(s), languages, hidden/unbeaten tracks of Paris. All the while sharing a good craft beer or an Indian dish

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Burundi, Chile, Croatia, France, Guatemala, Honduras, Ireland, Italy, Morocco, Namibia, Senegal, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom

Countries I’ve Lived In

France, India, Ireland, Italy
