A fun loving simple guy, I believe in giving back to the society in whatever little way its possible for me. I love to experiment with travelling- have always believed that walking, cycling and public transport are the only good ways to know a city- fortunately thats also cheaper! :-) Am an ardent fan of trains and music in all forms. A doctor- pediatrician by profession and singer by hobby, I am a great movie buff, love to play on keyboards, drums and mouthorgan (Harmonica)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I believe that connecting with people enriches the world. Also, in my opinion the closer you stay with people, the better you know about places.

Music, Movies, and Books

Thats difficult. Music in all forms is like a treat. But am completely into Hindi Film Music (Bollywood)- everything from 50's till date is my favourite. Favourites- RD, SD, Shankar Jaikishan, Salil, Naushad, OP Nayyar, Hemant, Kalyanji Anandji, Kishore, Rafi, Asha, Lata to Udit, Alka, Shanu, Shaan, KK, Amitkumar, Kavita, Sadhana! Jagjit, Ghulam Ali...I can go on and on!

Movies... All! Love them in all forms (Shorts to epics) and genres from suspense, thrillers, comedy, romance to parallel realistic arty cinema...!

Books.. Though provoking, ideological (Gandhi) to Classics (Dickens, Victor Hugo, Jules Verne, Arthur Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie) to contemporary (Sheldon, Archer, Hailey)
