I will be a graduate student at UMich starting Fall 2018. I completed my Bachelor's in IIT Guwahati, India in Electronics and Communication Engineering. I was an exchange student in Macau in my senior year and it was an enlightening experience in many ways. I enjoy talking to and connecting with people and appreciating similarities and differences. Optimistic and look forward to what all the new places I'm going to visit have in store for me, along with all of the amazing couchsurfers!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people as I'm discovering myself and the world, to create some lively memories! Was introduced to the app by a friend while I was at Singapore and I think it's a fantastic idea to help people network, find convenient accommodations and have fun while they travel!

Interests

I love watching Messi and FC Barcelona and play football (soccer) for fun when I find time. My weekends generally involve chilling with some TV series and movies after a work week or impulsive outdoorsy stuff. Enjoy meeting new people and always up for a good conversation. Into philosophical topics and psychology. I enjoy cooking South Indian food, and they tend to be on the spicy side if you're up for it.

Music, Movies, and Books

Pop, sometimes rock, anything pleasing to the ears. Not much of a reader although I'd like to be. Love watching Hollywood movies that offer more than just wild entertainment, always looking for good concepts in movies, just don't like(rather can't watch) horror movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Scuba diving at Andaman and Nicobar islands off the top of my head

Learning to play the piano, finding it a little difficult to find time for practicing it! Absolute rookie to music!

A perspective about life in India and more generally Asia, an intellectual exchange of ideas and experiences, some really good food!
