Overview
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
I love art so much. I cannot even begin to describe how much. The whole process of creating art- creating something that lasts excites me so much. I would love to discuss philosophy of Plato and Aristotle, the music of Chopin and Debussy, the paintings of Vermeer and Pollock with you. Come on over!
