"A rural youth hailing from a small countryside with hope of breaking the nutshell he's born with. Keeping alive the hope of availing balance in life with owning all the stereotypes which are associated with rural people."

"An ordinary face in the crowd who's biggest drawback is, not being sharpest in cluster of people, with whom he's sharing this bitter sweet life."

I just don't feel to be presentable, just another proletarian you see in every corner of street. The person you encounter at a roadside and forget.
This is what I think I know about myself. I am slow learner, constant thinker and dangerously honest (according to some).
People inspire me to the high extent, this is why my beliefs and theories change with the passage of time.
I seemed like a failed and aimless philander to some and for some I had been most fancied beloved or friend.

I have a huge respect for any kind of artists. Any kind of craftsmen like Painters, Musicians, Filmmakers, Writers and Martial Artists.

*I don't exactly live in Islamabad. I belong to a village located 70 kms away.

*Unlike majority of Pakistani CouchSurfing community, I don't suffer with "British Colonial bestowed self-hating inferiority complex" syndrome. I don't prefer foreign Caucasian / White / European / American traveller over a local. I am true egalitarian. I have no discrimination for local travellers. I will try to accommodate everyone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I had joined Couchsurfing to get better understandings in local tours from members. However now I just keep this profile that now and then I would meet thoughtful and well travelled people.

Music, Movies, and Books

I believe taste of music gradually changes with your mood and age.
I usually listen eastern semi classical, desert blues and Punjabi modern and Punjabi folk music.

I have came to realise that I don't get bore of movies whether it's a marathon.
