Originally from India, I have migrated to USA for a Masters in Engineering when I was 21 years old. Though I became successful as an engineer, life was miserable as I missed the deep connections back home with my friends and family. However, when my wife introduced me to coaching, I discovered something deep. I have realized all humans crave for one thing - CONNECTIONS at a deeper level and it doesn't matter whether someone is American, Indian, white, black or brown. Since then, I made a new home in America as I made a lot of friends and experienced total fulfillment.

I later switched gears to get trained to become a speaker and a coach to not only connect with people at a deeper level but also transform them from inside.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Though I travelled to many countries living in posh hotels, the trips that stood out for me is doing things like dancing with the locals in Puerto Rico experiencing that connection and sharing laughs. I see Craigslist as a great source to foster such deep connections. Can't wait to travel the world connecting with like minded people like you.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

How about three?
1) Prize winning pitch at Angel Hackathon - a feat I am proud of as it made the best use of my abilities as Software Engineer, my abilities to lead a team and my public speaking skills
2) Marrying a woman from China in spite of a strong resistance from our conservative families. After marriage, our parents realizing that they couldn't have a better son/daughter in law brought me to tears.
3) Getting out of the trenches and finding my voice.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I have always been a curious person, a quality that lifted me from being a shy introverted kid to becoming a charismatic young man.

If you are also curious like me, you are in it for a treat as we learn and share fun and engaging stories from each other.

I love my life as a whole - family, friends, hobbies, helping others find their potential, history and technology. If this list resonates with you, we will have a great time.

I am also a coach who got trained at America's premier coach training company called "IPEC." In other words I am professionally trained in transforming people's lives :-) If interested, I will offer my services to you for free of cost which otherwise costs a couple hundred dollars a session.
