About Me

First let me tell you that I belong to a Hindu Joint Family so basically it's 12 people in one place. However we have a flat to each family but it limits the number of Guests I could bring home. If you are a group of more than two than it I am sorry I will not be able to accommodate you.

Second I have a business background and have a very busy week that is I have my work hours ranging 6 days a week from 9am-8pm.

I was born to very typical Hindu Parents. My dad is the first of the Five Children and My Grandparents came from Rajastan back in 60's. My father and his two younger brothers i:e my uncles share the same building with my grandparents. My Mother is from Siliguri itself and have Varanasi background. I was brought up in Plungdung (a very small town now) some 25 mks from Darjeeling and in 94 we moved to Siliguri where my Grandfather already had a place of business with 2 of his sons.

I completed my Schooling and Graduation in Siliguri and since 2008 have officially joined the family business as tradition goes.
I am very much an introvert and have massive interest in Books, Movies, Soaps and History.

I recently have started to go places and I have begun enjoying it very much so. I went to Delhi, Himachal, Punjab in the beginning of this year and it was very exciting for me. Also I recently went to Paris which was my first abroad trip and it was the most adventurous trip of my life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well I heard from a friend about CS and while on my first visit outside India I very much took the help of it. I talked to a lot of people and they were very helpful with sharing and made my stay much easier. Also I get to meet new people and in a way I get to know about places and culture.

Interests

I have this hunger to keep learning and gathering as much knowledge as I can. If you are really interested or into something and really want to share and impart wisdom of that matter I am all ears. I might appear as an earnest kid while you narrate your tale but if you fake it then I will know and if you are genuine then you have a listener. I like ambitious people who dislike wasting time and make the most of the time and tend to stay much around such company. I am perfectly open minded as well.
