Originally from a remote village, I've made my way to the city of my dreams and have settled down here. I am a traveller, an entrepreneur, and a mother, among other roles that I play.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The members of my family have always enjoyed having loved ones around, as quote Athithi Devobhava. I enjoy having folks over and listening to their experiences.

Interests

I have a wide variety of interests since I have a naturally inquisitive nature.
I find joy in both the kitchen and the dance floor. Cyclis has consistently been my favourite, and I enjoy consuming content that is quite particular. I'm really into music. I read a lot of kannada literature.

Music, Movies, and Books

I really enjoy ARR's songs. I also really enjoy listening to music from Ilayaraja. I'm a big fan of Maroon 5. Bellie Elish is someone who has my total respect. The folk music of India's many regions has always been one of my favourites. I spend a lot of time listening to carnatic and sufi music. When it comes to music, I will never stop gushing over it to everyone who would listen.

Art flicks and movies focused on the content are my favourites. Action films that are both commercially successful and overly dramatic never interest me.

I read mainly kannada books.
