About Me

Writer/Director based in Mumbai.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To delve deeper into the culture of the places I am visiting through the perspective of those who belong there. To meet absolute strangers and hopefully find a slice of home in them. To understand what hopes, fears and dreams do others have. To realise over and over again, we are all in this together. To fist bump to that big ass awareness.

Interests

i am interested in books, cinema, food/cooking, walking, trees, forests, music, architecture, history, cycling, talking, learning, knowing, growing.

i am interested in all things beauty, things that make my soul surrender.

i am interested in people who are interested in life.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Largely indie and electronic. Some of the artists that I have been listening to lately - Jon Hopkins, Nicolas Jaar, Jungle, The National, Sigur Ros, Maggie Rogers, Nils Frahm

Books: I don't really read as much as I'd love to. Recently I enjoyed reading Teju Cole, Elena Ferrante, André Aciman and Joan Didion. Also, if there's a book I'd recommend to any stranger, that'd be Priestdaddy by Patricia Lockwood. I'd be interested in a friendship that happens solely based on this book. Or The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy.

Movies by Xavier Dolan, Andrea Arnold, Luca Guadagnino, Taika Watiti, Ruben Ostlund, Maren Ade, Ken Loach, Mike Mills.
