CURRENT MISSION

Love everyone, serve everyone, and feed everyone :)

ABOUT ME

I am an easy going person who loves to travel, click pictures, try out new things and meet amazing people. I enjoy listening to music, browsing, TED talks, daydreaming, learn photography in my free time. I love vegetarian food, smiling faces and charming people. I arrived in Zurich to start my PhD (Nov.2009)at ETH in Bio-Inspired robotics lab and I design energy efficient running robots. I did my undergrad and masters in India and spent a semester in NTU, Singapore as exchange student...

PHILOSOPHY

We could spend our whole lives studying but we will be young only for a short while

"expect the best, be prepared for the worst, fuck what others think and do your own thing."

find somebody to connect with even for a moment
bcz thats what life is, a series of moments........ go seize that moment

"It is through science that we prove, but through intuition that we discover."

And path is only a path, and there is no affront, to oneself or to others, in dropping it if that is what your heart tells you ... Look at every path closely and deliberately. Try it as many times as you think necessary. Then ask yourself, and yourself alone, one question ... Does this path have a heart? If it does, the path is good; if it doesn't it is of no use. - Carlos Castaneds, the Teachings of Don Juan

Pursue the things that will empower you. Pursue knowledge. Be relentlessly curious. Listen, learn.

smile, breathe, stretch, listen, pause, love, trust, give thanks, have fun and feel the force :)

Teach, Learn, Share

well, I am Mechanical engineer and i design robots, mechanisms and do a bit of manufacturing sometimes. I browse a lot and try to keep up with the technology. I can share facts about Indian Culture, philosophy or may be teach some Indian vegetarian cooking too...

I would really like to meet people who have done volunteer work, or are involved in fund raising events for charity. I would also like to host fellow vegetarians or raw food enthusiasts or any nutrition specialists. Please mention it if you are planning to surf my couch and I would make extra effort to host you.
