CURRENT MISSION

Be creative, do some good physics and enjoy the life to the fullest. Be honest enough to the world and try to contribute as much as I can to the universe to keep the flow of help, generosity and humanity going for eternity.

ABOUT ME

I am a calm, composed and fun loving person. I feel shy when I'm meeting someone for the first time but once I get to know a person, I'm the most talkative. I'm a sports enthusiast and love watching live games. Founder member of an active performing arts group at my home university in India. Big foodie, curious about new cultures and places. I love to sing and I don't care whether is up to the mark or not! Anytime up to watch a football/cricket match in a pub or at home.

Of course I am an open minded person and I can talk on various topics (once I start talking :P). I am a straight talker and a brutally honest person. I would definitely host you if I think I'll be able to spend some time with you because being Indian at heart, failing in hospitality is the last thing I would want to face.

PHILOSOPHY

What goes around, comes around!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was not a traveler until 2014. In 2014, I had my first international trip for study purposes and I was afraid to go around in a totally new land whose language was not at all known to me. My friend suggested me to try couchsurfing and fortunately enough, I succeeded to get someone to host me for a night in Frankfurt. The treatment I got, the support I got and most importantly, the positivity I got from my 1st host Jim (see my references) was overwhelming. I felt so relieved and so good I decided to continue participating in CS activities, because some day some one like me, will definitely need some help like I needed and who knows, maybe I'll be the lucky person to return the favor to the universe I got earlier.

Teach, Learn, Share

I try to popularize science, in particular, PHYSICS among school children. I'm fortunate to have got a teacher who made me realize the actual beauty of physics. I am getting hands on cooking some regular yet exotic indian dishes- I am sure I can teach that.

I would love to learn whatever I can from you. I am always open when it comes to learning.

I can share practically everything. When you are my guest, just feel at home. Me, along with all my resources are at your disposal. Just ask me what is to be used in what manner.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm Indian at heart! I'll definitely try to show you the true colors of India. Moreover, I feel I understand people's troubles easily. So, if you're seeking suggestions regarding some serious matters, I might be of some help. I can cook OK. So, I'll make you some Indian food (provided I'm carrying the ingredients required for preparation). Best of all, I leave a part of myself wherever I go in any form. I am sure you'll miss me once I'm gone 😊
