Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I plan to travel to South East Asia, Europe and Latin America majorly on cycle. I want to dedicate this travel to the nature, needful people and my love.
ABOUT ME
I grew up in the plain of India and lived 20 years of simple and authentic life in a tiny village where my father taught me to be the most hard-working and the best farmer among all.This place brought all possible traditional values to my life . The nature taught me so well how to grow vegetables, crops, plants, to feed and milk cattle,to swim into the open ponds, to catch fishes, to climb trees and live adventures.I lived a very deep rooted traditional rural life. Now eight years of long and hard stay in a big metro city brought me a new experience of the modern society.I lucked out to study in the most premier university of India and to meet the great scholars. I lived in a very blend culture here and learnt French language which enriched further my understanding of the western culture and people. Thanks to Eleonore, Sara, Marion, Sophie ji, Lakshmy, Clara, Alice, Laura and few more,i could learn so much the European culture and its social values . Having spent time with those friends has helped me enormously to understand the needs of the western travelers. As i continue to live two extreme societies, it enables me to understand different kind of people and to fit in with them.
PHILOSOPHY
'Making Someone Happy' is the most valuable thing one can do for others.
