About Me

READ CAREFULLY BEFORE SENDING ME A HOSTING REQUEST:

I love to welcome calm, quiet, educated, and well-mannered people who will not cause me trouble.

I can only provide accommodation for your stay, not additional services. If I'm free, I can spend time with you and cook, but I ask that you arrange your own ingredients and cook yourself or buy your food, and please don’t expect anything more from me.

PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL WITH MY BELONGINGS IN THE KITCHEN AND OTHER ROOMS. YOU SHOULD KNOW AND RESPECT THAT I CHERISH MY MEMORIES ASSOCIATED WITH THEM.

ALSO, PLEASE TAKE CARE OF MY PLANTS; THEY ARE LIKE FAMILY TO ME AND DON'T WATER THEM WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE. IT'S HARMFUL FOR THEM.

PLEASE MAINTAIN CLEANLINESS AND HYGIENE. I don't have domestic help. So, please keep your room and washroom clean.

Text me in advance if you’d like to be my guest, and I’ll see if I can accommodate you, as I’m often busy with work. IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY GOOD REFERENCE, I CAN'T HOST YOU.

FOREIGN GUESTS: Please provide a copy of your national ID, passport, and visa.

INDIAN GUESTS: Please provide a copy of your Aadhaar card and passport (if available).

MY PLACE IS NOT A HOTEL. I AM HOSTING YOU TO SHARE CULTURES AND EXPERIENCES —PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND. I mention this because I recently hosted a lady and her partner who spent most of their time in bed rather than engaging meaningfully. IF THAT'S YOUR INTENTION, KINDLY BOOK A HOTEL INSTEAD.

**WE DON'T HAVE LIFT/ELEVATOR IN THIS BUILDING. MANAGE YOUR LUGGAGE. I CAN HELP.

**If needed, you can use my net connection.

***PLEASE PROVIDE YOUR DOCUMENTS BEFORE ARRIVING. WITHOUT THEM, I CAN NOT HOST YOU.

***DO NOT ABUSE ME PHYSICALLY OR EMOTIONALLY. REMEMBER, I’M NOT YOUR WOMAN. I'M NOT HERE FOR DATING. IF I FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE, I’ll ASK YOU TO LEAVE OR WILL TAKE NECESSARY ACTION.

****NO MOCKING, BULLYING, UNNECESSARY DISCUSSIONS, OR UNCOMFORTABLE COMMENTS ABOUT ANYONE, ANYTHING.

***KEEP A RESPECTFUL DISTANCE.

***I MAY USE PICTURES TAKEN DURING HOSTING FOR MEDIA. IF YOU OBJECT, INFORM ME BEFORE ARRIVING.

Happy surfing!
Thanks.
