About Me

8 billion people wake up everyday. The top 1B and the bottom 1B have different opportunities and choices in front of them. I wish this gap to to flatten.
Although I am an introvert I would love to meet real people and learn about their life- their challenges, their fascinations, their worldview.

I can't do small talk and am interested in knowing your politics and society.
I plan to travel the world one day on my motorcycle, prepping for that.
I have myriads of interest Maths, Sciences, Philosophy, Cinema, Psychology, Economics, Music, Computer Games, Aesthetics..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I could maybe a share a thing or two about these
