CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I am a very friendly and open-minded guy. I love to meet new people and get to know their stories and share mine with them. Living in London and travelling Europe has been a great experience so far and I wish to see many more places and meet many, many more people!

Interests

Movies. Movies. Movies. I love my films and I love to see good actors at work. Being somewhat of a budding actor myself, I find watching good performances on screen very inspiring. I'm curious to know about writers, directors, cinematographers, musicians, sound mixers and their creative processes.

Music, Movies, and Books

Too many movies! But Birdman tops my list. Books I have recently read are: The Elephant to Hollywood - Michael Caine (Autobiography); Decoded - Jay-Z; Confessions of a Conjuror - Derren Brown; The Happiness Hypothesis - Jonathan Haidt;

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Taking the Eurail across Germany, Belgium and Amsterdam with my best friend :)

Visiting New York! Every other city is a village compared to New York :P

Teach, Learn, Share

I did a lot of research on which language learning methods are the best and it turns out the best place to start is the Pimsleur method. This is by far the most effective method (used by the FBI). Second to the Pimsleur method is the Michel Thomas method. It's best if you follow up the Pimsleur with Michel Thomas as the latter will teach you the detailed fundamentals behind the usage of the language (which is not necessary initially but will be helpful when you are prepared to master the language)

The Pimsleur method is especially good for Spanish and Michel Thomas for French.

If you are interested in knowing more about the human psychology and gain knowledge that will help you on a day-to-day basis, I recommend the book The Happiness Hypothesis by Jonathan Haidt

An author I really admire is Robert M. Sapolsky who has written some beautiful scientific (yet understandable and fun!) books on human biology & psychology and what makes us human - and what we can do about it :P Amazing speaker and writer - you can look up his lecture videos on the web
