hello world!
I am Raktim from Howrah, India currently working as a System Engineer in an MNC based in Kolkata.

The beauty of travelling through stories via Couch Surfing has brought immense joy and pleasure for me without moving there.

As a great admirer of photography, an ardent nature lover I go out often to find the lost connection with mother nature.

Join me on my epic journey to unknown roads taken, undiscovered hills and meeting many locals who can be befriended easily.

On a personal interest good food, movies can only help me with my never-ending curiosity about everything.

Let me be a good listener if you have got some stories and am willing to share more, promise.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 4 years of Engineering life, I couldn't learn how to code in spite of that I learned how to invest in Capital Market! Became an accidental Investor :P

The graph on the screen excites me more than anything else on the Earth though I tend to lose most of the time.
