I am a 1st year PhD student in Computer Science at New Jersey Institute of Technology. I am originally from the city of Kolkata, India also called the City of Joy. I am a fun loving person.I travelled across 24 out of 29 states in India. I travelled across 12 out of 50 states in USA. I travelled across 7 out of 47 prefectures in Japan in 3 months.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am a traveller at heart and want to connect with people who shares the same interests and so on. I also want to learn about different cultures and interesting stories from different people's lives.

Interests

Movies - Works of David Fincher, Martin Scorcese, Woody Allen, Guy Ritchie, Alfred Hitchcock, Satyajit Ray, Abbas Kiarostami, Andrei Tarkovsky

Also I was the No. 1 Reviewer in Boston on a food-review website called Zomato(which recently acquired US-based Urbanspoon) for a stretch of 9 months.
