CURRENT MISSION

..what I can, I must...

ABOUT ME

I am open minded, non judgmental and a very easy going person. Although I have strong traits as a person I am very accommodating. This comes from the fact that I make no opinions about anybody and anything. I also believe that everything in life has something to offer.. I have spend many years of my early life doing nothing much.. I now. intend to make up for all those years doing what I love to do the most.. travel, photography, meet people, help people and above all to spread good will and happiness wherever I go and with anyone who crosses my life...

Right now, I am working towards creating swaYYam, a non-profit, which is an eco-conscious effort that practices, promotes and supports low-impact living. swaYYam, in sanskrit, suggests, the 'unified self'; embodies the spirit of sustainability, self-reliance & self sufficiency in thought & action.

PHILOSOPHY

There are no full stops in life. Period! The wanderlust in me keeps resurfacing and takes me to new highs every time I give in to its quest... i keep falling, failing, bruising yet learning and moving forward.. i never stop.. I am always on the move...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted lot of friends and guests from various parts of the world and a few couch surfers as well. I know a good deal about India, its culture and history. I can take you around the city - Bangalore or even travel with you in the country depending on what I am doing at the time you write to me... I could host you in my beautiful home and treat you to a lovely Indian meal..

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Meaningfully exhilarating. I believe its a great concept and an amazing way of networking with like minded travelers - learn, explore, wonder, wander and lose yourself...

Interests

Love watching movies, reading, listening to music, wandering into the wilderness, watching the skies, looking into nothing, driving without a plan, traveling into the off beaten track, eating, cooking, laughter, speed on my bike, the chill in the air numbing my nose and skin.....

learning guitar and roller skates.. Want to scuba dive and live in the forests with the tribals...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

diving in the middle of the Bay of Bengal (Indian Ocean) from a fisherman's boat... the wow! of the para sailing over the Phuket seas, the view of the colourful corals in the clear seas of thailand, the leopard going past the road while I was driving in the forest, memory of these times still leaves me breathless, my solo bike ride in the graveled mercara ghats, sitting on the ocean floor diving in the andamans, the crash landing on my tail bone while on roller skates, ride on my yamaha FZ in the Goa rains.. so many more to add....

Teach, Learn, Share

I am and will always be a work-in-progress! eager to learn, hear and share... Every new place, new person is a new experience for me.. every new place just reinforces the insignificance of my being in this vast universe....
