I am work in progress. I am never content with what I create as I believe there is always a room for improvement.
A software consultant by profession , but I am a writer at heart. I write to express myself and to know more about myself. I write for myself and I love sharing my stories with people.
I have written a book, directed a play in London fringe theatres and currently working on my next book.
I think art is a way of expressing feelings. Therefore art should always be true. That's what fascinates me about art.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best way to know about a place is by knowing locals. Couch surfing helps in that. The hotels and youth hostels normally guide the tourists to the famous avenues and restaurants and cafes . Such places are crowded and don't provide the real taste of the location which you are visiting.
Best guide for any new place can only be a local person. I would prefer living and sharing the life of a local person to know more about the place. I am glad couch-surfing exists and provides travellers with this kind of a chance.

Interests

I read all kinds of fiction. They should not be boring, too long and preachy. Instead of using four lines to say the same thing, a writer should convey a message in a single phrase.
I watch movies which have a simple story with human characters. They all should have a great idea and characters should be passionate.
I love going to plays. Theatre is where one feels what it is like being inside a story. Theatre can touch you in a way no other form of art can.
