I am a neuroscientist and visual designer. I teach at an university here in Gujarat. I love to meet people and swap stories. I can host people in my apartment in Gandinagar. I am still exploring this area so it can be a joint venture.

My most preferred way of having a good time is to cook, drink, eat amidst riveting conversations about life, science, art, design, politics, literature, travel etc etc -any topic, I are not snooty :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can do my bit to help make this wonderful network of people who can meet and exchange ideas, inspire each other, help beat boredom and make life a little more interesting.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was trekking near Dharamshala and met some Tibetean guys who were staying in a monastery. I particularly didn't like the place I was staying so they took me with them, put me up in a nice place, showed me around and even invited me to Karmapa's (the next Dalai Lama) birthday party. It was a blast an not very sombre!
