About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Help promote universal friendship - the human touch of globalization

ABOUT ME

I am interested in languages, literature, music, history and religion. Iam myself a spiritual seeker and will jump at any opportunity to discuss anything remotely related to the all-embracing topics mentioned. My favourite book is undoubtedly Sefer Ha-Zohar. I am a huge fan of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
I am interested in the history of Africa, India, and the Jews in particular. Professionally, Iam currently writing a thesis in medical anthropology on social aspects of overweight amongst adolescents. In my personal life I am the proud father of a fourteen-year old girl who stays with me part time. I delight in this wonderful chance at meeting international brothers and sisters and to form friendships across the globe.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen the ancient walled city of Harar, Ethiopia, where I fed hyenas by hand and buzzards at the camel market; and incurred the wrath of radicals on the street late at night (only to part with an embrace!) Never a dull moment in the King's own Town!
