ABOUT ME
It's been a long time since I've given up on describing myself in a small box with words...
PHILOSOPHY
LIVE... But lately have been perplexed over the reason why I live. As of now, my conclusion is that I'd like to put a smile on as many faces as I can, while I live.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Music, Movies, and Books
Am a movie buff, No doubts. Would be impossible to list a few of my favourites but let me try - In our good old bollywood, it has to be Rang De Basanti, Taare Zameen Par and My brother Nikhil... And yeah, Rock On and even a few old time favourites like Trishul...
Among english movies, I guess Blood diamond, Last king of Scotland, Saw series at times (yeah, weird I know), Rocky!!! A lot more actually.
Foreign language, lets see, haven't seen that many but still I loved 'Amreeka' Have seen it three times now. I make it a point not to miss the Dubai International Film Festival and catch on as much different language movies as possible.
BOOKS - Have been bitten by the reading bug recently but have devoured quite a few interesting books. 'Paths of Glory' by Jeffery Archer made me so interested in the Everest that I then went ahead and read 'Into thin Air' (John Krauker). Absolutely loved it.
The Fountainhead however has to be the best book I've ever read... Amazing amazing read.
On a lighter note, I liked books by Indian bloggers as well - My Friend Sancho (Amit Verma).
And ya, White Tiger was different and interesting.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
The most amazing thing I've done has to be scuba diving in phuket...
