Namaste to all ( I bow to all)!

MISSION AND PURPOSE:
The purpose of existence is to exist. It is too enormous, intricate, beautiful, and fantastic to need any other purpose. Life itself is a mission. So just be.....and celebrate life.

ABOUT ME:
Pretty much an ordinary man who revels in his own ordinariness. In many ways still a child......a Columbus on a voyage of life. Hassle-free and non-judgmental.
I have two kids....and no wife. It could well have been two wives and no kids but life is what it is..... it very much is. So am I. An incorrigible romantic by nature, I am told that I have an earthy sense of humour. I love to laugh and often just laugh it off.
For more of me, you gotta discover me your way........ with your mind, body, heart n soul.
Professionally, I am a Management Consultant.

PHILOSOPHY
Live the moment , live it with passion....and live it real.
Question isn't who'll let me, it is who'll stop me.....

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I love people, cultures, discovering and rediscovering the beauty of this wondrous planet.
To me CS is about belief in human goodness beyond boundaries; it is about experiencing underlying oneness among beautifully unique and diverse peoples n cultures; it is about feeling a natural connect with the people we haven't met ever before n the places we haven't touched ever before; its about exploring life as a citizen of planet-earth.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I am yet to experience CS in its full glory. Trying to get a feel of it..... I do believe that people, places and passions shape us.....drape us.
