Overview
About Me
Hey,
I'm Dharmeshkumar Gandhi is a Director of Devil Joker Private Limited In Surat,Gujarat, INDIA, is currently working as a freelance with experience managing Restaurant Hospitality Consulting Business director and is always interested in a challenge. I know how tough it can be to hire freelancers – they don’t know what you want and you don’t know what they need.
If you’ll ask my favorite place, buddy I am going to tell you Surat City (Surat, Gujarat, India). Seriously men, it's very quiet place, there is no too much rush here. All are students here, so you're gonna feel very young here. It's well designed and built properly. This place is full of greenery(too many parks and trees) , and this is one of best thing about Greater Surat City. I love this place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
You’ve got friends all around the world. If one day someone told you this, wouldn’t it be awesome? Well, it sure would! It would be absolutely fantastic if you can just fly to any country and find a couch to crash on for a few days. Your friend will tell you the best things to do in his/her city, show you the famous lanes where memories are made, direct you towards the nearest bus stand or metro station from where you can explore this new city you have just arrived in. But, it doesn’t seem to be possible right? How can you have friends all around the world? Well, Couchsurfing is the 1st step towards that!
For the uninitiated, Couchsurfing is a global community of travelers and locals who love to meet new folks from different walks of life. You can host travelers visiting your city or stay with a local while visiting a new destination. Mostly, these folks are genuine and the credibility can be tested by reading the references they’ve got. But, let’s talk about how to determine the credibility of a Couchsurfing user later. First, let me share my own experiences of using Couchsurfing in India and abroad.

Music, Movies, and Books
My favorite movie is 3 idiots, Because i have watched this movie more then 50 times and the every time, i cry in some scenes and laugh and willing to be like BABA RANCHOR DAS CHANCHAD. Ohh yess, The best line of this movie, what i love most is “BABA RANCHOR DAS CHANCHAD NE KAHA H KI, BETA KAMYAB BANO KAMYAB, KAMYABI SALA JHAK MRA KE AAYEGI”.
My favorite Book is “How to win Friends and influence People” written by DALE CARNEGIE. This is amazing book, very practical and full of sense. I love Dale Carnegie for his wonderful work, he was a true human behavior reader. Believe me, you can be a gentleman after reading this book. It's awesome book. If you haven't read this book, Go and get it, read once.
My favorite day is, Tomorrow. Yes, I personally believe that if i was not good at today, I will try to be best, tomorrow. I love a new day (tomorrow) to being very creative, to do something new and valuable to this world. We all have this wonderful day, Tomorrow.
My favorite song is zindagi aa rha hu mein. Let's read some lines together.
This is a beautiful hindi song from 1984 bollywood film Mashaal. This song is composed by Hridaynath Mangeshkar. Kishore Kumar has sung this song. Its lyrics are written by Javed Akhtar.
I listen this song many times a day. This song has valuable and soft lafj (words).
