About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To Enlighten myself by unravelling the queues existing in mother Nature, that are to be found when there is a void.
A void, which you feel while trying to expand your horizon, while everything is calm around you and yet you feel the turbulence but can't see, the feeling is such that it can't be explained by the bookish wisdoms and having experienced all this you still want to do the right thing at the right moment just as they say

" Make hay while the Sun shines".


Just as there is a change in the Topography and Flora-n-Fauna of a Particular LAND as we move from one corner of the world to another, the same way Cultures and the ways of Habitat change from one Time Zone to another, I feel with Travel and with the experience of Change of Locale many things can be learnt, simultaneously, adsorbed, Understood, and perfected without having to explain anything, however in order to Accomplish all this I guess ( I ) need to sincerely, Watch, Feel, Observe, Think, Listen and last but not the Least Hope for it

And
To meet and befriend like minded people from around the world and make a forum where we could do something to make this world a better place, no matter how small the effect is :

ABOUT ME

Eccentric, Crazy but not stupid ! ! ! !
I am Culture-less, I had to unlearn my own in order to see the world and humanity in a Neutral Light, Without having any preconceived notions about any race or any culture because I think WE (ALL) very easily and foolishly believe and get Manipulated by what we are told instead of following our deepest instincts !!

PHILOSOPHY

'if' is the middle word in Life ! ! ! ! ! !
Life is beautiful

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For Cultural Exchange, meeting Contemporaries present in the world at the same time as myself but needing a link for connection just like CS
I need to frequently travel within India so that's why you see that I can meet up or even host in a few cities through India though my base remains Goa for now !!

Interests

The word 'Bon voyage ' sends shivers down my spine, I did like to go around the world in as many days it takes going from shore to shore and from land to land like a Nomad and start all over again
Besides I like talking to people, meeting people from other cultures, going out in Nature, going to parties, especially EDMs, pool side parties, fresh water lakes, waterfalls, Shapes of Trees often intrigue me, I feel they have been designed, Boats and Yachts,Stand up Comedies, Playing golf, Poker, Tech and tribal fares, Electronic Gizmos, picturing trees, Cross Country car trips, Trip to holy river Ganges, visiting spiritual places and centres, Religions of the world especially Buddhism, Hinduism.

Photography is another art that really moves me to another sphere of existence.
A line from a non de script Photographer :
" I want to take a picture, well not just a picture, in fact a picture which tells a Story "
I find this line very Moving.
In the present scenario where pictures can be made to look extra ordinary with photo tricks which is hard to detect by a layman like my-selves so I do acknowledge
Photography in old school form especially black and white form.
I believe that no picture is ordinary and if you have an keen eye you can find a story in ever random picture you see
