About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To relish this romance called life by feeding my thirst for physics, history, philosophy and psychology. To discover myself by discovering people, places, things and experiences.

ABOUT ME

Well, I'm a 22 year theoretical physicist, happy-go-lucky guy who is very curious. When I am not asking questions, I engage in appreciating music, lindy hop, having some good wine, photography and playing the guitar. I enjoy cooking as well, Italian cuisine being my favorite. My motto when it comes to traveling is to know thy backyard by knowing the world and knowing the world by understanding your backyard. I have also founded an NGO that tries to improve the quality of education in schools by providing kids with exposure to stuff. I have the ability to get pretty chatty and philosophical at times, so beware if you can't handle it!
TL;DR : Curious nut.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in the power of me. In the power of you. We all can do great stuff if we wish to, and that there is no need for the existence of an higher body to accomplish this. Well, life inherently has no purpose. It is what we wish to do, that gives a meaning to our lives. It's an open book, let us write a story like never before. Life is an immortal romance.
TL; DR : Existential Nihilist.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By hosting interesting people, and hopefully getting to be an amazing guest. I love showing people around Panaji and Goa. I believe I know a lot when it comes to doing non-touristy things in Goa.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It gained during my time in Porto! Made a lot of good friends through couchsurfing meet-ups. I plan to start couchsurfing meets in Panaji!

Interests

Astronomy, Photography, Heritage, History, Technology, Social work, Guitar, Blogging, Reading, Philosophy, Psychology, Quizzing, Poetry, ...

Always curious and open to picking up new interests. There are no activities that I dislike.

Music, Movies, and Books

I hate wars but I love movies on wars. I once made a short film.

I'm stuck in the wrong musical era. I love The Beatles and Elvis more than anything. A good round of Jazz or swing makes me happy. I also love Coldplay, Regina Spektor, Jack Johnson and the likes.
As of recent, I've been getting into Psychedelic rock, dreampop and EDM.

Ah, over the years I have lost out on reading thanks to my other activities. I enjoy books on science, historical accounts, autobiographies and good non-fiction. I love Woody Allen movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen the milky way and a million stars in one night. Cool enough to mention this in here.
