About Me

Something of a vagabond- never spent more than five years at one place, Dad had a transferable job you see ! Extremely adaptable or so i've been told. Love new experiences, change is my life blood. Law student but hate it, i have a soul afterall....just joking.....or am i ! Don't judge people as individuals by their stand on public issues....what a random thing to say. Nice, easy-going, not to serious about stuff that is out of my control but particular about the stuff that is. Life is lived, shared and cared for. Into The Wild sorta !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I dislike the kind of travelling that entails a visit to set places and reading about what the place has been....i wanna be in the now. I wanna know what people living today feel about them. More importantly what has years of evolution led upto for the people of the place where i'm in ! So i wanna meet new people, hear their stories and know them and in the process know all that i can be !

Interests

Most of what i do is to better understand and know thyself

Music, Movies, and Books

Music- Chopin, Debussy, Pink Floyd, Joe Satriani, Nick Johnston.....

Books- Anna Karenina, Lolita, The Plague, The Age of Reason, The picture of Dorian Grey, A House for Mr Biswas...and Jhumpa Lahiri and so many others....love recommendations

Movies- Into the Wild, Videodrome, Mullholand Drive, Mirror, Last tango in Paris, Irreversible, Eraserhead, works of Billy Wilder, Aki Kaurismaki, Kurosawa, Satyajit Ray, Woody Allen, Lars Von Trier, Stanley Kubrick, mostly art house, sometimes movies about a theme form my weekend...most recent- alcoholism- Crazy Heart, Leaving Las Vegas, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf......a lot of movies....A LOT but unlike those crazies in The Dreamers !

I think that an experience of any of the above is not complete till you have your opinion tested !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skydiving in Budapest! I've completed 8 grades of Piano. Lost 25 kilos in body weight. Scuba in the Andamans ! Travelled more than 10 countries ! Certified lifeguard ! All in the 21 years i've been here ! Still much more i wanna do....bungee, sky dive etc.
