CURRENT MISSION

Collecting experiences for my autobiography

ABOUT ME

A perpetual student who relishes learning new things more than anything else and survives on books, Swing Dancing and vegetarian food. On any given day, I am either hanging out with my housemates or out dancing.

But what I enjoy most is to just walk around and observe life rushing around me, trying to discern its ways. Oh, and I also like to write fluffy lines.

PHILOSOPHY

" El conocimiento nos hace responsables"
- Ernesto Che Guevara
meaning -
"Knowledge make us responsible"

Over the last 5 years, every journey that I have made has taught me something about why the world spins the way it does. And how it looks different from the eyes of a muezzin in Istanbul to a hippie in Amsterdam. I love listening to stories, and I'd like to spend my life trying to look at life from the viewpoints of every stranger I meet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Though I am new to CS, I think its a fantastic concept, and am looking forward to not only surfing, but hosting fellow travelers, and help them explore the world in a slightly more personal way.

Teach, Learn, Share

What I can teach you is how to dance - be it Lindy Hop, Charleston, Blues, Salsa or even some Bollywood dancing. Or maybe some chords on your guitar, and share some recipes for Indian food, and how to write your name in Hindi.

I'd like to learn some of your favorite vegetarian recipes, and hear some music and jokes typical from your region :)
