Overview
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
