I am a Vegetarian (but enjoy Fish and most of the Sea Food). But mostly fried.
I care immensely for Animals and try to be as ecological as I can and worry about Climate change and pollution in the world regardless of the boundaries.

I love and enjoy Stockholm.

PHILOSOPHY

I am a Swedish citizen of Indian origin. Lives and work here in Stockholm for now over 28 yrs. Poor and boring some could find!
Simple just normal person I am.
I am a very Honest and Curious person.
And I accept the same from the others.
I love life and bother less what others think.
I do and live what I think is right, as far as I do not hurt other persons feelings. This is the most important principal in my Life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well nothing special so far !
While I was in London last year, I physically participated in one CS meeting at Leicester Square Pub. That's it unless something good comes up in Iran or Turkey in the and one in Cairo, just days before Egyptian Revolution, e near feature.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
"PREPARE & PREVENT, rather than REPAIR & REPENT".
Recently return from my first CouchSurfing Experience in Egypt.
To be honest I really enjoyed it every bit of my journey and stay with my CS colleagues. (2010).
They are so helpful and courteous people.
Looking forward to CS in Iran. My dream travel If I can afford and can. I love to at the end of this year 2012, now looks like drifting towards 2013. + now July'2018, waiting !

Interests

I am 63yrs. as of August 26 2023.Single, Simple, Smooth & Sober man. Normal, nothing special to me I assume. And do not like to praise myself. Better if other's who might know me utter those words. If I am worth. Rest is all ok.

Teach, Learn, Share

Meeting different peoples and learning from them. The best I can give I am ready to share. And open to new ideas and sugessations all the time.
Specially respect to women and their utmost place in society. My Mom is my role Model. I love her. I learn every bit of my life from my Mom from brith till NOW and still learning and admiring her, but not enough yet.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Obs!!
I am soon 58 yrs. Prefer to Host or be their Guest who is like my age or close to my AGE. I will be more comfortable that way. I am a simple Vegetarian guy, No Smoking or Alcohol at home entertained. Just to note these things. Couch no problem, and there where it is. Please read these things before we are in contact. It is important for me. Thanks.
