About Me

Hi Guys. Im new to this. Hoping to meet new friends, and helping people out. Big Foodie ! and plenty of Archaeology stories !

I live in Vadodara the cultural capital of Gujarat in western India. I also have a house in Mumbai and go there every few months during break times. Message for tips in Mumbai and Gujarat, and India in general would try and help as much as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A friend in need is a friend in deed. I believe in Karma. A good deed will never go unnoticed. Spread happiness in the world. Meeting new people, learning from them is rewarding.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Excavated an early Harappan burial almost 4800 years old !

Teach, Learn, Share

Want to learn about new cultures. And share with you mine.

Would love to teach someone some of the languages I know. I come from a very small community called the Chitrapur Saraswat Brahmins(just 19,000 of us!), we come from a proud heritage and humble beginnings.

Would love to talk about archaeology to people in general. Public archaeology is the need of the hour and it so very important that people realise what and why we do what we do.
