Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I will host you or hook you up with other local CouchSurfing friends if I cant host you. I have also hosted travelers via HospitalityClub.org . When I'm travelling, I look forward to meeting other CouchSurfers and sometimes even surfing. I enjoy visiting a family and surfing their couch as it has a more homely feel and very interesting to observe the dynamics of the members spanning across generations. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I was showered with kindness in Hong Kong and Singapore and was hosted by CS members and I am truly touched by the kindness. Am moved when one of my guests said that they did a CouchSearch for Hyderabad and contacted me and if I would have said No, they would have skipped Hyderabad. That's massive! Even as a host, I was a part of someone's travel and impacted their journey and time in India. Its a great feeling and a responsibility as a host. Since then I have had a handful of surfing experiences and have hosted some very interesting people.
Music, Movies, and Books
Movies: Schindler's List, Requiem for a Dream, Cinema Paradiso, City of Gods, Shawshank Redemption, Crash, The Machinist, Motorcycle Diaries, To Kill a Mocking Bird, 21 Grams, Amores Perros, etc. Music: As long as its non-commercial and from the heart, I will listen to most genres. Books: Spiritual and non-fiction, although I enjoy reading blogs more than books these days.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
1. In 2010 I travelled 20+ weekends outside Hyderabad :) Gambled nonstop for 17 hours in a casino in Vegas! At the end of it, the dealer who was changing shifts, actually told me i was making my money last :) (and he wasnt putting me on for tips) 2. In 2009 I travelled all 52 weekends outside Hyderabad including sleeping 70+ nights while traveling in a train and rode over 16000 kms(almost 10000 miles) on my motorcycle :) 3. In 2008 I have travelled 26+ weekends outside my city limits! 3. Swam in the sea far away from the shore. Was thrilling. (I know thousands of people must have done this, but still it was a very exciting experience for me) 4. My gambling exploits continue, this time in Singapore, i gambled for 3 nights straight and walked out with 17x more money than I began with. Played mathematically and followed my ten commandments of gambling and I looted the wealthy casino a lil bit :P
