Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING i like to attend cs meetups, talk with ppl around the world. share my stories and insights with them ..which i have acquired through my travels of different topographic points ... there is a hindi song , which i always listen to when i board my next flight which means : i never stopped on one destination .. i never met myself . this is a mistake..but i am not angry .. ppl might look different from outside in different cities .. but beneath, we all are same seeking - love, pride, intellect, money to become the supreme ..but then what ? what is the ultimate aim of the life ? many ppl like Alexender, kings, riches, oscar awardees have been able to get all of these things in their life..but what did they do next ? did we ask them, were u happy ? we knew, they were successful . but is being successful more fulfilling or being happy ? our success is decided by others, however our happiness is judged by ourself. in spirituality, we call it to attain Moksha is the purpose.. saints used to spend years to attain that on bank of river Ganga. how can we achieve it in this smartworld ? ;) COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE i have been to many CS meetings from different parts of the world - i started this with Jakarta there i met many people from different countries.. then attended a couple of meets in Pune, India ..people are very friendly..and we all are looking to increase the perimeter of our friend circle. Taiwan & Quito were quite a cosmopolitan experience..i could see people from many parts of the world- Germans, french, USA, sloviks, russian, Germans then again Germans.. haha Germans are a great traveler ! we should learn something from them.. visited 10 states (6.11%)Create your own visited map of The World or Amsterdam travel guide for Android

One Amazing Thing I've Done
I experienced the fear of being drifted by river. it was in Rishikesh ( a spiritual and; a place for water-sports in India) the flow of river Ganga is very heavy at some places.. When i was swimming..I suddenly went to one of the danger zones..and realized..i am nothing in front of this river immediately, I started stroking hard..but I could not see much change in my position..this scared me..but i continued (what other option did i have anyway ? ) i was also getting exhausted rapidly...i stroked harder..and more faster this time..and finally got away from that zone overcoming & killing this feeling of fear was amazing !
Teach, Learn, Share

My Interests
I believe in having different life experiences. I try to taste all the aspects of life from - sleeping in a tent in your sleeping bag at the bank of river Ganga to relishing in a five star hotel of Taiwan .. experiences are never high or low .. they are just experiences ..and it will give u joy to taste each one of them. I love playing volleyball & I was a captain of my college volleyball team I enjoy playing Table Tennis and I have played it at National level when I was 16 Now, I am in love with travelling and luckily my occupation is in sync with my interest which gives me a good number of travels every year. I am a regular practitioner of Yoga, meditation and I am learning Hapkido (korean martial art) ; and salsa
