Overview
About Me
My life has never gone the way I planned it to be. From selecting the commerce stream after 10th, and then planning on going for a Commerce degree but ended up being in a law college. About the people I met, about the paths I've crossed. in fact this time last year I was working in a litigation firm in Kerala and now I'm working in an NGO, traveling across Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangan. But I ain't complaining. Im rather enjoying it. God knows what next!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Experiences
Interests
I am a rather odd concoction of contradictions. You will find me partying on one day and on a silent mood in another. I listen to Rock songs on one day, blues on another. Bang on tamil dappan kuthu on one day, Sufi gazals on another.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
During my travels in rural Andhra,I stayed in a tribal village once. They had hundreds of cows but never used to drink a drop of milk, saying that the milk is solely for the calves, not for us. The same villagers made me take a hot water bath in an open area at 10:30 pm at night at a chilling 13 degree celsius. But after that I didn't feel an ounce of cold. Not only that, they made me sit on the cow dung plastered kitchen floor beside the burning jhoola, and offered hot rice along with some tomato curry. The curry seemed very simple, but then I got to know that they never use oil or any masalas as such in cooking. But after taking the first taste, I was at cloud nine. I sat with my eyes closed for a few seconds, and took in that taste. I was registering that cold night on that kitchen floor beside the burning jhoola and the taste of that hot food that tribal lady made for me. One I will carry with me to my grave.
What I Can Share with Hosts
