ABOUT ME

Who I really am depends upon the time when you meet me. I could be somebody very quiet or somebody who loves doing crazy stuffs. But for the most part, I'm pretty laid back, fun loving and adventurous. People who know me would tell you that I get along with others very quickly and love to have interesting conversations.

I love food ... doesn't matter what it is. I bet I would eat it with a big smile on my face as far as it qualifies to be a food. Pointless to say that I love travelling. I'm sure that's why most of us are on this site. Apart from that, I love cycling, playing board games, sleeping (although I don't sleep much), cooking and day dreaming. This is all for now. You have to meet me to know me better.

PHILOSOPHY

Will think of one when I'm in my 80s. As for now, I live life as it comes to me. Sometimes it's a bitch and sometimes it's a blessing. You gotta appreciate both sides.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

* I used to organise monthly language exchange meetings in my city.
* I was the team leader of Hindi and Bengali translation groups.
* I attend CS monthly meetings in my city and CS meetings/gatherings outside of my city whenever possible.
