Overview
About Me
Hi everyone
I am originally from the pictureque state of Kerala, India. Having lived in Bristol for a while, I have taken another plunge by recently moving to "sunny" Scotland haha. Looking forward to making a new social circle, more friends, travel buddies, trek up the hill tops (anyone for Ben Nevis ?), explore the traditions and culture of different places.
When l get serious, I do some research in applied sciences as a small way of contributing to the society to make it sustainable and smarter. I love sports(waterpolo, swimming, cricket,...) and everything adventurous. Also like to live a conscious and healthy style. I love learning the beautiful diversity this world has to offer. You can tell me about your customs and traditions for hours and hours to my listening ears..
Philosophy :
"The only things you regret are the things you don't do."
"Everything will be okay in the end. if it's not okay, it's not the end..."

Music, Movies, and Books
Music : I love listening to slow melodious Bollywood music. And haven't explored the western music yet.
Movies : Big fan of action and war movies. Some of them includes Enemy at the Gates, Saving Private Ryan, The Letters from Iwo Jima, Bourne Series, Mad Max Fury, X Men, Mission Impossible to name a few.
Books : Likes mythology. Also a bit nerdy. So interested in books on quantum mechanics.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
To climb Scafell Pike, the highest hill in England and that too without any preparation. It was a random crazy idea to trek up he hill on a rainy day without proper gear. Surprisingly, this risky adventure turned out to be worth remembering when the rainfall at bottom was actually snowfall at the top on a spring day.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can help you with Indian history, culture and traditions. Also have got mastery over English and Hindi languages.
I think I am good at cooking Indian food, especially the Kerala cuisine
All learning about other's lifestyles will be enriching.
Please let me stay and I will surely invite you home :)
What I Can Share with Hosts
I am really new to the historic city of Dunfermline which is know for its beautiful architecture, parks, relatively less crowd, hilly terrain and of course the Scottish accent. We can go on for bike ride, pubs and have a local flavour of live music in Edinburgh.
