Im an artist based out of Mumbai, India. I work on graphic novels and editorial illustrations. I also run a small project called ProjectBambai about the art and architecture in the city of Mumbai.
I love to travel, meet new people and experience new places.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I have always been an introvert, while travelling I would always prefer a quiet hotel room. Last year while in Kuching, Malaysia I was running out of money and decided to opt for a hostel instead of a single room. I ended up loving the experience! I enjoyed meeting people from all over the world, having breakfast conversations and travelling together. I think couch surfing would be a great place to meet new people and add to the travelling experience.

音乐、电影和书籍

I love old hindi melodies, they remind me of the days spent at home as a child. While working I prefer to listen to instrumental piano, the pace is just fine to sit for long hours and make some art.

I love Amelie (the movie), I religiously watch it almost every year. It makes me believe that there is always light at the end of the tunnel. That this life, it isn't that bad.

I like books by Haruki Murakami, he makes me want to visit Japan, see all the places he talks about, the deep forests and the train stations.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I used to watch the Birds of Paradise videos, almost every now and then. I used to wonder how those magnificent birds living on a far away island have developed such intelligent dance forms. Every time I would sit and watch David Attenborough talk about them on BBC shows, I would tell myself that one day I will go to those forests and see them myself.

Last year, I was making plans to go to Japan, looking up tickets and wondering how expensive it is for an Asian to travel when suddenly I started looking up tickets for Papua (Indonesian New Guinea). One thing led to another and before I knew it, I was in Papua, in the Arfak forests, sitting inside a bird watching hide and looking at the very same birds. It was the most beautiful experience of my life, one to happily take to the grave.
