ABOUT ME

I am an enthusiastic and open person. I like to meet people, especially those who have a thought through point of view. Its interesting to experience different cultures by actual interactions.

Apart from my office, I occupy myself with soccer (playing here and following the European Leagues) and a couple of other adventurous activities (karting, hiking, etc.).

PHILOSOPHY

Clarity of thought. I think its important to introspect and realize what values we want to imbibe, and the extent to which we will stand by it. I live a simple life, nothing too fancy and definitely not a party animal.

In interactions, I like to be clear and honest. I personally value tough honest answers over seemingly nice but dishonest answers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have only recently joined, so my participation is, as of now, limited to hosting enthusiastic travelers. Given my location, I feel I am able to contribute a little to helping people realise there dream of visiting NYC.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first surfer came a few days ago. He has been incredibly nice and understanding of some of the house constraints. I will populate this column as I gain more experience.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Trekked across one of the most difficult routes in India, Kalindi Khal, with my friends. The pass is at an height of ~6,000m. During the final ascent, one of friends slipped into a crevass, was dangling by the rope only, and we managed to rescue him, and made the pass.

I heard that he pass was closed recently during to recurring fatalities on the route.

Teach, Learn, Share

This is tough. Well, I can teach simple maths and physics, help understand how these basic subjects can help you see your surroundings, etc. On the other hand, I think I can also talk a bit about philosophy, social interactions, and team building and activity.

I can also teach soccer skills, but its best I don't as I am no Zidane.
