About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to know as many new people as I can in order to understand myself better

ABOUT ME

I love reading.. specially german and french philosophers and am keenly interested in discussing the philosophical questions about life..

I love Photography and filmmaking .. have made a couple of documentaries too.. would really like to show you, if you are interested :-) and I study script writing.. Movies are the things I am really passionate about and love discussing with almost everybody ;-)...

PHILOSOPHY

Freedom means consciousness. Trying to search the answer of every "Why" and "How" can set you free.

I believe all humanity is equal and there can only happiness can be found in Peace and Love

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I really like to know my hosts as well as my surfers, as it lets you connect to different ways of thinking and lifestyles existing on this earth..

I think couch surfing is not just a free bed.. but a chance and an oppurtunity to come across things and people which can enrich you in many ways and you can do same to them..

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Once I hosted a guy from Berlin, a friend of a friend. He was a student too and we really had nice time knowing each other...

I was hosted once in Florence, Italy and it was great experience being hosted by such a warm and good human being. I learnt a little bit about Italian music too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have done three 60km long cycle tours in switzerland and my next aim is to take the whole round of Bodensee, which is like 160 kms.

In my Bachelors of Arts (Graduation) second year, I read a text on 17th century European philosophy, which i think, I found so amazing, that I decided to pursue philosophy as my masters and later on in life too...
