I am a filmmaker who recently quit his corporate job to pursue his passion of cinema. Recently made a short that won couple of accolades around the world. Now working on my feature.

I am passionate about travelling. There is something mysterious about a train tugging or a flight leaving the ground that explodes a plethora of emotions inside you. Maybe its saudade, an unknown force pulling you towards a home that probably never existed. The more I travel and meet different people the more I am at peace with myself.

I have a nice quaint apartment away from the hustle-bustle of Bombay. Getting few things fixed here and hoping to start hosting soon.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This platform provides a unique opportunity to meet and know different people, know their cultures, their languages, their art. It is this, that makes couchsurfing set itself apart from other platforms which are more about grabbing a free couch.

Interests

I am purely taken by cinema! I am huge fan of the medium, not just as a viewer but in looking at the language in a critical way. After all, it is the strongest art form of our generation. 

Hell of a Linguaphile. Always high on languages, how they shape people and in turn get shaped by them. Espanol and Francais are next on the list.

I do go out for clubbing and parties once in a while, but my best idea of fun is staying in with a nice company over coffee or drink while it rains or snows outside.

Music, Movies, and Books

In the Mood for Love, All About My Mother, Apu Trilogy

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hung out with locals on a small rock mountain overlooking Greece as a lit Persepolis stood testimony

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you cuisines from different parts of India if you have a taste bud for Indian food. I can also take your through the different cinema movements across the world and how they relate to our social, political and economical transitions. 

Would really like to learn different languages. And honestly am always up for learning a trick or two. So keep it coming :)​
