About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Dream big. There is no substitute for Hardwork.

ABOUT ME

Hello folks,

My friends call me Muthu and also 'MK'. I'm an indian who lived in different parts of the world. I finished my PhD in Germany recently (Successfully, huge relief). Well, the reason why I did my doctorate far away from my homeland is to travel around Europe. I like science on top of that I like playing chess, badminton, reading books, playing the irish flute. I love watching YOUTUBE videos. Lately, I started writing short stories. I dream to become an Entrepreneur at one end and a Scientist at the other. I'm eager to visit Egypt and explore some parts of Africa (one day). I'm quite adaptable to different places and situation. I try to make the people around happy with my sense of humor and presence of mind. I try. I admit, I fail sometimes. I'm quite an inspiring speaker and my students agree to it partially.

PHILOSOPHY

Do not go where the path may lead, instead take an unconventional route and leave your trail.

Karma has no special menu. You get served for what you deserve.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

I have read works of Haruki Murakami, Milan Kundera, Neil Gaiman, Paulo coelho, Dan brown etc.. I prefer stories that is slow paced with interesting plot twists. I'm a fan of instrumental music. I admire the acting of Tom hanks, Russel crowe, Christian bale and Hugh jackman.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have seen many amazing things in life like uneducated and physically challenged people fighting the society for a cause. I would like to try sky diving, swim in an ocean, build a castle, participate in marathon, act in a hollywood movie, make a short film and venture a million dollar company.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach how to cook indian food. I can share my knowledge in my scientific field and technology. I can teach you to play chess and badminton.

Learn about different personalities from different cultural background via interaction. I think, this will enhance my wisdom and practicability. I want to learn languages like German,Spanish,Hindi and Chinese. Salsa dance if possible.

What I Can Share with Hosts

How about indian spices and Pickles?
