About Me

ABOUT ME

I think better would be that you experience me and make your own opinion and understanding about me. for now, would be more authentic to read references and know from people I have stayed with or have hosted so far. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Have couchsurfed lots of times, and it was a wonderful experience. I often travel and greatly enjoy the chance to converse with locals and fellow travels. For me, that is one of the best ways to know the world, understand myself and enjoy life.

Interests

Watching Cartoon, Meditation, Laughing, smiling, talking, shouting, humor, dance, party, music, art, wINe (Not anymore), watching cartoons, theater, coffee, vOdKa (Not Anymore), argument, rUm (Not Anymore), critical thinking, chai tea, friends, family, dessert, traveling, RaiN, culture, social diversity, justice, learning by doing, economics, politics, sharing, adventure, taking risK, reading, spirituality, yoga, writing, making food for others, hiking, camping, napping, sometimes annoying my friends... Actually almost everything interests me apart from violence and suffering of another beings!

I have special affection for nature, specially rivers, I love to sit on bank of river for hours and listen to it. Rivers are my best friends. River teaches me continuity of existence and life :) No matter what happens, the show must go on! :)

My second love is spending time with children, playing with them, keeping so called "maturity" aside and becoming one of them to discover my own self in true manner.

I enjoy intellectual and philosophical conversations. Humor is an important element of my life. Sometimes I end up dominating conversations. I am working on my listening skills. :(

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I failed in all subjects in a mid term exams, it was amazing to make this experience lol ;) it's going to come out during our interaction.

Teach, Learn, Share

look within, the outside universe is nothing but merely object, your troubles outside are merely manifestation of trouble within.

And

We live in the world we collectively create, Lets be careful and critical to whatever our minds tell us to do.

And

Lets learn to let go, nothing is permanent, spreading love and peace is more fun than getting trapped in Ego and Anger.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Apart from my pains, EVERYTHING!!!

My friends say that I can cook good north Indian food, apart from cooking I can do all household works. if there is any other work, I am always keen to extend my hand. Anything that is required and I can do or in short term I can learn to do.

France, Germany, Netherlands, Poland

Countries I’ve Lived In
