Born in Varanasi, spent my childhood close to the Ganges. I have lived in Durgapur-West Bengal for 4 years for my graduation, moved to Bangalore-worked there for more than 2 years and about to complete my post graduation in Finance. I love stock markets. I have traded from some crazy places-mountain top, Goa, bus, train, bathroom, and many more. I love books on philosophy. I recently finished Viktor E. Frankl's book Man's Search for meaning for 4th time and still that books amazes me. I don't smoke, but don't mind light drinks. My personal quote- "It's not the altitude, it's the attitude".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to learn about the heritage of the place I am visiting, learn its culture, and taste the local food. After all everything is all about experience: share stories, travel to offbeat places, and enjoy the life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing is a very subjective word and the experience that qualifies as amazing could be very relative. One experience that I can recall is convincing a friend to not to take extreme action. Helping her to get a hold on her life.
