Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people from different cultures and hoping they would reveal their cultures to me. What's better to know about a culture than a person LIVING that culture?

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Ivan's Childhood (Andrei Tarkovsky), Life is Beautiful (Roberto Benigni), Dead Poets Society, The Unvanquished (Satyajit Ray)
Books: Macbeth (William Shakespeare), Paradise Lost (John Milton), War and Peace (Leo Tolstoy)
Music: My safe bet is Western Classical or Folk, but listen to anything from Edith Piaf, Sting, The Beatles, Bob Dylan to Metal Rock and EDM...its all about the mood!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelled more than 2000 kms from Gandhinagar to Kolkata without a ticket, changing trains frequently and sleeping on railway stations between connecting trains! I wasn't breaking the law consciously, my wallet was pickpocketed!

Countries I’ve Lived In
