About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be aware. Know. Be present.

ABOUT ME

Life is the greatest paradox. The present moment is on the borderline between impossibly contrasting domains of truth (lies), future (past), fear/ courage, and life itself.

PHILOSOPHY
We live in a vast web of meaning that we create consciously or subconsciously. Our experiences are shaped by our expectations. We try to replicate feelings that we liked, but cannot control when and whether those will arise. We want to watch in movies what we simply never will experience in real life, or watch absolutely impossible dimensions of our indeed real lives.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As a starter, I think I can participate by disseminating knowledge about places I have been to, that would hopefully count and help people.

I cook a bit, like eating, and collect/ share music.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favourite movie - Amelie

Favourite book(s) - Homo Deus, The Art of Loving, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time, Tao of Physics, Autobiography of a Yogi, Just Like That (Osho)

Music
Ranges from Metallica to some Trance. Includes popular film music. Sometimes for a change, I listen to myself.

Would like to sometime experiment about music's ability to transcend language. Also fascinated about how western and Indian music both have exactly the same notes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

At the welcome ceremony of our conference in Seoul, there were 2 brothers showcasing Sand Animation. Just that they used lasers and a projector screen. The music played soothing piano notes and soulful female voice, and towards the climax as the music became intense before fading off, the picture was complete with showing the logo of the conference. It was truly new and amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

Authentic Indian cooking, some Indian classical music, philosophy, and of course my work (development consulting) - I love ideas.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cooking together some Indian food
Writing together poems in English
