CURRENT MISSION

Meeting people from all over the world!

ABOUT ME

“Its not the number of years in your life that matter, but life in those years.”

“Passion” is one word which describes me pretty well. Backpacking, astronomy, science, history, electronics, reading and heavy metal music are some of my interests. I love exploring new places, new ideas and interacting with people from all cultures and backgrounds. I also love teaching people something new and I try doing it in simple and fun ways.

I always had skydiving on my bucket list. And I dived on Dec 20 2012, just one day before the supposed end of the world prediction!

PHILOSOPHY

Its all about people.
Its about kicking ass not kissing it.
Its not the number of years in your life that count, its the life in those years.
Attack life, its going to kill you anyway.
Mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled.
Learn, explore, enjoy and then keep learning.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

If anything, I would say Angkor Wat temple complex. Within, there is a temple called Bayon, which gives this really chilly, mysterious sort of feeling.

And to see Euro 2008 matches in Munich in the Beer Garden. Beer is way too good and with the awesome crowd, its almost as good as the stadium. And the best part is the post-match celebrations, with every single person singing German anthems on the streets way into the night...

To dive from 10000 ft, suspended in the air exactly when the world was about to end on. That was epic! :D

Teach, Learn, Share

Am open to share my travel experiences in South East Asia if its useful!
