I'm a mathematician working in research and teaching. I have a bunch of diverse interests that I like to learn /explore more about in my spare time. Those interests include things such as philosophy, art, autism, AI, music/concerts, etc. I like nature and going on hikes, but haven't been able to do much of that lately. I am relatively new to Toronto.
Interested in Art
Interested in Disability rights
Fluent in English
Learning French
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
It seems like a great way to meet people with similar interests from all over the world.
Music, Movies, and Books
Music: There are too many bands to list, though I do not actively listen to music as much as I used to in the past. Some of my favorite genres include Alternative Rock/Metal, Progressive Rock/Metal, Indie Rock/Pop, Dream Pop, Post-Hardcore, Acoustic/Folk, and Indian/Pakistani rock. Some of my favorite bands/musicians include but are not limited to: Radiohead, Nirvana, Damien Rice, Corey Taylor, Muse, Falling in Reverse, Blue October, Kevin Devine, Steven Wilson, 30 Seconds to Mars, Manchester Orchestra, Holy Sons, Nine Inch Nails, Metallica, Umer Farooq, etc. Movies: I like well-made movies from most genres and often try to experiment with new stuff. Some of my favorite movies include Fight Club, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, A Brilliant Young Mind, Lucia (Kannada movie), Oraalppokkam, Ex Machina, Donnie Darko, 1408, The Good Heart, etc. Books: Haven't read much lately (other than academic stuff).
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach as well as learn (vegan) cooking. Can teach some technical stuff such as math, from the perspective of someone doing it for their career. Can also share a lot of good music suggestions and discuss about music (and other things I am interested in) in general. Would like to learn the piano. Would possibly like to learn many things that I don't know the names of yet....
