CURRENT MISSION

Life is like an odyssey, I just like to ride along and enjoy the voyage. I believe that one must do what he likes to do, life will be so much fun!

ABOUT ME

My favorite passion is to write, depending on the mood, sometimes poems, short articles about life apart from research papers. Also, I love teaching (Master students) and enjoy answering the curious minds. I like cooking and friends say, I am a good cook (specialty - Indian cuisine). I talk, sometimes more than usual, discuss philosphy and try to know how people think!

I like to identify myself as a researcher. By training I am computer engineer with specialization in information security, in other words, I am a Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH). I am out-going, like to meet new people and make friends. "Friends are the only people you can choose, others are by default there." Sometimes it's the smallest decisions that can change your life forever.

PHILOSOPHY

Try to live in the present, although future is always tempting, but remember, you will enjoy future when it will become present.

If you loose the fear of loosing, you will not loose........! Everything that is now easy for you was once hard in the beginning.

Back and forth again...........! what i want to do, what i can do and what i should do? three different questions, but have to have one answer..........i don't know yet how to find it...............!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have co-hosted many people along with my flat-mate, Abhishek Nayak, who has been quite an active member. Also, I have met couchsurfers in local events while travelling. It has been an amazing experience so far and hope, it will continue the same way in future.

Interests

I believe in paradise, but now i know its not some place you can look for. Because its not where you go, its about how you feel for a moment in your life, when you are a part of something. And if you find that moment......................It lasts forever!!

I like Reading (Philosophy, History, Psychology, and ofcourse, technical stuff) and more writing (Poems, essays, articles, and research papers and books)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Done Scuba diving in Faro (Portugal), without knowing how to swim.
Done Sky diving in Las Vegas (US) at 7.30 am, after getting hammered the previous night.
Ran in front of bulls in Sam Fermin festival (Spain), after getting hammered the previous night, again.
Got lost while driving in Mallorca, trying to find Cap de Formentera...the view was panoramic.

Teach, Learn, Share

The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: Decide what you want, want it with great passion, work out ways to get there and one day you will get it.......!

I like to learn about people, that's where my interest lies. Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I think the best thing I can offer is "interesting conversations" especially from philosophical point of view. Nevertheless, I am very much interested in talking about politics, religions and science (especially artificial intelligence as it relates to my research).

Other than life-remembering discussions, I can offer Indian-fusion food and could help in learning the same as well.
