About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To not be a citizen of one land, but a child of all!
ABOUT ME
I love meeting people and getting inspired. I am from New Delhi, and have been living for the last two years in Gothenburg.
Am fond of visiting new places, reading and pushing myself to learn new languages (It is easier to say this and much harder to do so, though :!)
I would love to meet you :)!
PHILOSOPHY
-- 'Ek pal ke jeevan se, do umr churaani hai'

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
To be honest, it is not something amazing that I 'did', but it kind of fell into my lap. When I was 15 years old, I got the opportunity to represent India in Canada for a three weeks fully paid trip, sponsored by the Terry Fox Foundation. To be selected as one of the only two ambassadors for a huge populace as India's, is quite something, I thought then.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I am good at cleaning and can help my hosts with that. Also, I dabble in Indian cuisine a bit, so I can hopefully dish out something tasty that people would like. :)
