Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I am a traveler (work and leisure) who like to exchange ideas and cultural insights which is also important in our creative profession.
My partner is also a writer and content producer.
We are looking forward to meeting people across cultures and professions to enhance our outlook and help us grow and acquire perspective. I am a great hosts as have been often told. Would like to share that experience with more people, blessed as I am with a wonderful property in a virgin island with great views and fantastic vibe and people.
Similarly would love to explore the hospitality across the places I yet have to visit in India and abroad. Looking forward to like-minded connections.
We frequently have invitations from Global film festivals where we would like to travel and we invite members of the film fraternity across the globe to travel for Indian Film festivals like MAMI (Mumbai) and IFFI(Goa)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I have worked with a fantastic Global team from Norway, Germany, Denmark and India for a Norwegian feature film 'What will people say' which touches the topic of social repression and speaks of emancipation of a girl trapped in radical beliefs of a cross cultural family.
I worked as a chief assistant art director and was instrumental in creating the Pakistani look of the film shot in Rajasthan (India). It was wonderful working with the cross cultural crew and great minds in Global cinema.
This is 2019 Oscar entry from Norway and premiered in Toronto and Mumbai film festivals.
