CURRENT MISSION

To host people because couch-surfing has given me a lot and I want to pay back.

ABOUT ME

My friends would say that I am a very reliable and energetic guy. They would also say that I am very enthusiastic and carry a nice sense of humour. I like meeting new people.

PHILOSOPHY

I follow 2 principles -
1) 90:10
2) 'A thousand words'

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just restarting my contribution after 3 years.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have provided couch to 2 persons till date. I have never participated in any CS activity.

Interests

Beautiful landscapes and adventure trips really grab my attention. I always get attracted towards things which push me beyond the established and take me out of my comfort zone.
Since I don't get much free time after work, most of my time is spent watching movies and listening to music (Rock, love, n R&B). Whenever I get time from work I like to travel even if it means that I have to start in the night, drive a car for 6 hours continuously and then return to my workplace in the morning (after skipping a night's sleep!).

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a movie buff and no hollywood movie escapes my watch.. till now I have seen more than 2000 movies and I have a collection of around 300 movies..
My top 20 movies are- Schindler's list, taxi driver, the good the bad and the ugly, the dark knight, avatar, the godfather, fight club, goodfellas, city of god, the matrix, Leon the professional, Memento, Back to the future, Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind, Full metal jacket, Braveheart, Kill Bill V1, V for Vendetta, The Bourne Ultimatum, The Dark Knight Rises...

I am a rock music buff with my top 10 favourite rock artists being- RATM, Greenday, Metallica, Rammstein, LP, U2, The Scorpions, GNR, Bon Jovi, fOREIGNER..
Since I like to party I developed an affinity for R&B especially R&B from Kanye West, Usher, Black e P & Pit bull.
For soothing my mind up after listening to excess rock I kinda feel lyk listening to some pop from MJ (the best),Enrique, Elton John, Bryan Adams & Jay Sean.
In bollywood music (Hindi) I am very choosy and mostly listen to romantic songs and songs with punjabi R&B.

I am also into reading books and like all 5 Dan Brown novels, all 10 Martin Beck Novels, and magazines like Lonely Plant and Men's health. In comics I have covered all 23 Tintin books. I have read many other novels and biographies too..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

2) Driving a car on a mountain road in Badrinath India (road only 5 m wide with steep valleys on both sides, and with both way traffic open!)
3) Scuba diving at the USS Liberty's Shipwreck in Bali.
