Little bit about my personal side : Wanderer and an avid reader. I love to read, read and read. 18th, 19th centuries classics is something I can not live without. I come from eastern side of India, the Northern planes, close to the border of Nepal. Love to talk about culture and history, mysticism, Vedic science and Ayurveda.

Believe in TRUE FRIENDSHIP . My idea of friendship is shaped by our traditional and mythological stories and epics. It's a relationship that transcends barriers of caste, faith, colour and geographical boundaries.

Nothing seems better than a long deep conversation over a cup of coffee. I am an avid reader so I do not mind sharing a lot of stuff I've read and accumulated over the years and would love you learn your views on a number of things ( unless you are bored), well we can talk about sports ( cricket in particular, sorry one downside of having British Indian past, is that you happen to love cricket and no other sports, well tennis may be).

I have a SPECIAL place in my heart for Scandinavian and Nordic ( Sweden and Norway in particular) history, culture and people. Big shout out to anyone travelling from that region.

Slightly Formal Information: I live in Bangalore at the moment, originally from North, I work for a Swiss firm, have to travel frequently for work but when I am in the city, I would love to host/meet you based on my availability so feel free to drop a message if you are planning to visit.

P:S : My work keeps me slightly busy, therefore I find it difficult to accept last minute request from couch surfers ( for place/meet ups). It would be much more easier for me to accept your request if you could notify me slightly ahead of time. If I am available I’d love to host and show you around in my beautiful hatchback
🚗 cheers, Atul
