ABOUT ME

Growing up in city by countryside-originated parents made me mediocre and balanced in the view of life.

I quit my so called normal engineering job last year and "act" as an intern in a political party as well as 'part-time' activist trying to do something for my motherland. I was working closely for a member of parliament where i learned so much interesting as well as frustrating stuff about politics!! 4 months later, I got a Working Holiday visa and here I am in the beautiful Middle Earth (New Zealand).

I'm a serious guy, sometimes trying too hard to be funny.

PHILOSOPHY

There are few quotes that pretty much becoming what i believe in life.

1. "What life is if it's not to make things easier for others?" - unknown

2. "On ne voit bien qu'avec le coeur. L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux." (Ones can only see clearly with their hearts for what is essential to be invisible to your eyes.) - Le Petit Prince

3. "Insanity is doing same thing over and over again and expecting different results." - Albert Einstein

4. "We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us." - Joseph Campbell

5. "The only thing for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing." - unknown

PROUD (OR CRAZY) STUFF I DID

1. 4x Bungy jumps. 2x Swings. 1x Bridge Climb.
2. 2 full marathons in 21 days.
