Hi, this is Vishal. I'm a student, pursuing Phd in Economics. I love to travel, explore new places and meeting new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To fuel the faith of travellers that there is someone out there to help you out.

Interests

I have mostly travelled in north India, that too on my motorcycle. I have been to Bihar, Jharkhand, West Benga, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Delhi, Haryana, Chandigarh, Uttarakhand and ofcourse Uttar Pradesh.

I love listening music specially Ghazals and Qawwali, Bollywood songs ranging from 60s to the new ones, I also have interest in Malayalam, Telugu and Tamil songs (though I understand them only if subtitle is available. Nusrat Saab, Ghulam Ali, Rahat, Mohd Rafi, Kishore Da, Jagjit Singh, Lata di, A R Rahman, Shreya are my favorites.

I often read novels both in Hindi and English. Sharatchandra Chattopadhyay, R K Narayan, Ruskin Bond, Munshi Premchand, Ernest Hemmingway, Mulkraj Anand, Ajneya are few names among my favorites.

I cook both Veg and Non-veg. Love to watch a new recipe on You tube and trying it myself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

2200 km. Bike trip in just 7 days on a bike which was more than ten years old.
I have attended two ten days courses of Vipassana. It is amazing and can only be experienced by actually attending a course and then by practicing oneself.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a learner basically, but I can teach one what I am capable of. Like, I can teach you Some basic Economics and to speak Hindi.

I'm alway open to learn a new language, culture, musical instrument.
