About Me

Just as many others, wondering and trying to figure out every other thing about the mysteries that shroud our minuscule existence in this universe (partly, that's also my work)!

In Fall 2017, started grad school in Planetary Sciences and moved to LA. I also have a Bachelor's-Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering.

So much want to (or, so it seems): travel, explore different cultures, eat as much as possible (!), meet different people, make new friends, learn and experience a lot of other new things ... , and in process, hopefully, explore the different dimensions that are there to our world.

I like having really involved conversations, about a lot of things actually, and I am almost always bubbling with energy to do something, or extremely lazy to even move (don't worry, this habit usually does not trouble others!).

At last, a foodie, agnostic, used to play a couple of musical instruments, love reading books related to fantasy, philosophy, psychology, etc., evenings: gym or some sport, and most of the time, trying to work out how things happen in the outer space.

I am somewhat on the quieter side when just getting to know someone, however, can be a nuisance to those who know me well 😅

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There's a lot of stuff that I want to do ^ 😓. So, always looking for help with that 😁. In summary, seeking people to have fun, exciting and interesting memories with!

Willing to learn new things, and love listening to people's stories and understanding their perspectives ... .

Music, Movies, and Books

Genre (favorite): Psychology, Fantasy, Philosophy, Horror, Adventure, Martial Arts

The ones that I can recall right now ... (i.e., apart from technical stuff that I read)

Books: Crime and Punishment, 1984, Harry Potter, certain manga ...

Movies: Twelve Angry Men, The Man from Earth, Dark Knight, Schindler's List, Ghost in the Shell, V for Vendetta, Pianist, Fight Club, Machinist, lots of horror movies ... and many more. It's tough to remember all the ones that you liked a lot.

Shows: Friends, GoT, True Detective, Westworld, Sherlock (last season aside!), Full Metal Alchemist, Steins;Gate, Monster and some more.

Music: Like listening to other people's favorites! As such, rock, Indian classical or fusion, pop; but frankly, don't have a 'favorite' band or singer, neither any particular preference for a particular genre. Played and learnt a couple of classical instruments for 9-10 years, not any more though.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good memories!
Psst ... Frankly, I couldn't decide what to put here. You'll surely have my time, and we can think and figure out whatever we would like to do!!
