"So tell me about yourself!" remains the most daunting question for me. It has made me go vague beyond boundaries at so many occasions. I would rather state the facts like "I am a human being, not the alien as I had imagined myself to be as a child. I am a vegetarian, but not religious. I love listening to stories. I find it very difficult to fake emotions. I am a good learner. Whenever I come face to face with a giant problem, I tell myself that we are quite insignificant in comparison to the size of universe, therefore our problems even more minuscule, and random. "

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Best of my experiences while travelling were more because of the bonds I made with the families and the locals - I met some of the most amazing people like that!

Music, Movies, and Books

Good music which matches the mood - could be soft rock, alternative, instrumental, any language, something that makes you remember stuff or makes you dance or makes you cry :)

Movies - 'Tamasha' is the most recent favorite; 'Children of Lesser God' , 'Goodwill Hunting', 'The boy in Striped Pyajamas', 'Ship of Thesus', 'Le Grande Bellezza', 'Before Sunrise', 'Her', 'Black Swan', 'Boys don't cry', 'Rain man', 'Freedom Writers' and many more are all time favorites

Books - I don't read much, I have a bad habit of leaving books unfinished! 'Fountainhead' was the first book I managed to finish. I loved it! I also loved 'Eleven minutes', 'Shantaram', 'Kite Runner', 'Wuthering Heights', 'God of Small Things', 'Time Traveller's Wife', 'Bachelor of Arts' and everything written by Ruskin Bond..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I quit my well-paying job as an engineer, to find what is it that I am passionate about! (And actually managed to find it after volunteering in different places and different fields)
