CURRENT MISSION

Learn something new today.

ABOUT ME

I recently finished up my B.A. degree (after 6 long years) in journalism. Since graduation I have pursued a career as a freelance journalist and photographer. I also started producing documentary films and music videos. I like to spend my time playing guitar, going to any of the great bars or restaurants in the city, and reading. I love to meet new people.

My absolute biggest passion is learning things. I have an insatiable curiosity. Because of this I have a pretty interesting repertoire of knowledge and skills. I suppose my brain is skewed toward the esoteric; I know Michio Kaku's views of online dating, but I had to google how to hardboil an egg.

I love playing guitar. I'm not great, but I will play every song I know for you.

PHILOSOPHY

Live to the fullest and love everything with all of your heart.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Sadly, I have not had much of a chance to use CS. Until recently I haven't been stationary for long enough to offer a couch. While traveling, I usually end up somewhere. But this community is gorgeous. I can not wait to explore it more.

Interests

Just about anything. Psychology, sociology, physics, chemistry, journalism, photography, traveling, talking, music, movies, politics. If I am not interested in it now it is only because I have not yet experienced it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walking out of a bar at 3 in the morning in one of the shopping districts in Delhi, i was immediately face to face with a painting elephant "parked" in the street. It was the first moment i realized I didn't know a damn thing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach science pretty well. Physics in particular. I could also teach you a bit about photography and videography. I know how to read the sanskrit alphabet too. And, I suppose, I could teach you some songs on guitar.
