ABOUT ME

Moved to a new country and looking for the ideal job.
English teacher in France earlier. Marketing consultant in an even earlier avatar. Love watching advertisements on TV. Can cook if kicked in the butt. Can return-kick as well, so dont try.

Current goal is to improve French, but get excited when travelling to another country thereby mixing french, italian, german, and what-not. Heard of 'Jack of all trades, master of none'?

PHILOSOPHY

Fits perfectly into my current philosophy!

“20 years from now you'll be more disappointed by things you didn’t do than by ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away. Catch trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -Twain

Music, Movies, and Books

Any french movie I chance upon.

Not into philosophical books that tell you 'how to make ur life better'. Anything else is just fine.

Mood-dependent music but anything from indian classical to world fusion. Not particularly fond of hip-hop or trance.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Stereotypical as it may sound, it was my first glimpse of Eiffel tower illuminated and in full glory. It was part of a dream of long ago come true, so it was quite overwhelming!

And a flamenco show that I happened to go to in Seville, by chance. Superb!

Teach, Learn, Share

Share: Experiences about way of life in India, maybe? And Indian cuisine. Uh oh, I'm a vegetarian so dont expect tandoori chicken. Learn: Italian, Spanish, GermanTeach: Umm, Yoga I learnt long ago? And English ofcourse.
