About Me

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.” – Mark Twain. I believe that travel is the only thing which rejuvenates your mind and keeps you breathing. For me, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move. I firmly believe that travel educates you and gives you so many experiences that you end up being a story teller. Travel has made me modest and you get to know what a tiny place you occupy in this world. Personally for me , Its very weird to write about myself. You can get to know more about me and my country if you can just allow me to stay at your place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

“You don’t have to be rich to travel well.” – Eugene Fodor
This is my motto behind all my travel. Its all about understanding and exploring new cultures and traditions by meeting different people. This platform has provided me this opportunity to meet them personally exchange different ideas. Its a great pleasure for me to be here and share small little things that I have been through in a short span of my life. To be honest, since I am a student I can also save some bucks and fund myself to extend my travel days.

Music, Movies, and Books

"Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, wings to the imagination and life to everything"- Plato
Music is something which transforms a person from "what he is to what he wants to be". This makes me listen to all kind of music which is pleasant to my ears. I like to try out various forms of music because that expands your horizon for all the things in your life. May be this is getting more inclined towards the philosophical aspects of music but I enjoy having this perception for music and travel. This allows you to discover your inner soul which exists in each one of us.
I love watching movies which are more inspirational and have touch of humor to it. Movies like The Shawshank Redemption, Forrest gump, Lord of the rings (series), The Godfather, Batman (series), Moneyball, The pursuit of happyness Inception, Interstellar etc have always had made an impact over me.
I am not a bookworm but I wish I had time to get into reading. For me books were always related to academics. May be in future I can get into this habit of reading because I believe that something very magical can happen when you read a good book.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Biking is something which I believe is amazing which happened to me. I was never into any kind of physical exercises before there was need for it. At one point of my life I felt physically stressed and weak because of my work and then I got into biking. From then I have been constantly doing long distance rides which opened up my mind and allowed me to perform well in various things. The things which have happened to me during the rides is worth sharing, since it has changed the way I look at things.

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't have much things to teach but I am very sure that I have a lot of things to learn and share from every person in this world.
