An Avid Traveler, Indologist by heart and Amateur Photographer, love to meet up people from different cultures and countries. I would like to Introduce myself as a warm, caring, loving & trustworthy person. I share a very special bond with all my friends & family. I love to keep secrets & all the people around me confide their problems to me.

An excellent cook and can cook anything for my loved ones.

Apart from Travelling & Photography, I love to read almost anything, a keen interest in Philately.

I am associated with various archaeological societies including Asiatic Society and British Council and my special interest relates to Egyptology and hieroglyphics.

Sometimes I will surely visit Egypt and fulfill my archaeological aspirations!

Also, I keep busy myself with my various mathematical projects related to PDE & Fuzzy Logic.

My favorite city in India is obviously my home town Kolkata. Apart from Kolkata, a boat ride in the evening at Dashashwamedh Ghat, Varanasi along with Ganga Arti makes me feel great!!! I simple love Varanasi (my ancestral place) and its Litti Chokha at the Ghats/ Lanka area!

An Engg. graduate from B.E College, Shibpur, I am currently associated with IT Industry as a Senior Consultant.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

What makes me feel excited about this site? :)

I just came to know about this site! Here I can meet new peoples around the world and learn about new cultures.Lets explore the world together!

Not only anyone from outside Kolkata, people from Kolkata also, please get in touch with me, since I can show you that Kolkata, probably you also don't know! Its my challenge for Calcuttans :)

A simple Philosophy of my simple life -

'No place is ever as bad as they tell you it’s going to be.' – Chuck Thompson

Thats why I want to Visit Lahore, a great city and capital of West Punjab and Sikh Kingdom. Would love to eat at Gawalmandi & Lakshmi Chowk and would see myself to verify -

'Jine Lahore Nai Vekhya O Jamya-e-Ni' or 'Lahore Lahore aye' :)

To end up, it reminds me another favorite quote by Saint Augustine

'The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page.'

Let's meet up and explore the life ...before we die! Life is too short to see this world created by God.

Regards,
Ambarish
