About Me

I am always on the lookout to meeting new people, connecting with them and offering them help in whatever way I can. I am an Electrical Engineer and I love the music of Joni Mitchell, Dylan, The Monkees, Belle and Sebastian and many other artists and I love watching and discussing the innovative techniques used in visual art. I love The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, The Americans, The Wire among other shows. I am also a fan of German Expressionism and French New Wave cinema. I look forward to meet you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am here to meet new people, hang out with them, show them the places in and around New Delhi, learning more about myself, the people I am with and the city where I live in the process.

Interests
