Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love meeting new people. I think knowing different cultures, history and relating that to mine is a great fun.
Interests
Well, I am loquacious. If you stay at my place, you may have lots of fun or may get bored because of this habit. I like simplicity. I can cook and make some delicious Rajasthani dishes. I like jogging. My heartily wish to visit each and every part of this globe before I die. Well, I am looking at Mars also, maybe Elon will help me out.
I love working on something which directly benefits the public at large. Issues like Human Rights, Health and Sanitation, Elementary education, Poverty eradication seems to be very exciting to me. I am interested to know any idea or initiative that could solve the problems for farmers, labourers and underprivileged in India.

Music, Movies, and Books
I like music, literally music only. I hardly remember the lyrics. If music is good and inspiring, I would love it. Pink Floyd is my favorite. I watch very selective movies. I always ask my friends or google before watching because many times I felt it's just a waste of time.
I love reading Non-fiction.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
One stupid thing which I have done. In May 2016, I was in my village (Meriya) in Jodhpur. It was very hot day and I had to visit some govt. official for some urgent work. My cousin dared me to go there by bike in the noon. I accepted the challenge. While going there, my hands and fingers starting burning. I didn't see any vehicle on the road that day, not even four wheeler. Due to non-availability of the officer, I had to ride around 70 miles. While returning back I felt so weak, panic, fainting. It was around 2:30 pm and I couldn't move ahead. There was no water on the way. I parked the bike along the road and found some water after a long walk. I drank and slept under a tree for 2 hours. Though I was feeling the same. Later in the evening I reached home somehow and checked the phone and i was shocked when I saw that my native place had reached the highest temperature of 51' Celcius on that day, which is also a record in the Indian subcontinent. When I told this to my friends and family, they scolded at me. They said, it's is not an adventure but stupidity.
Yes, one interesting thing I have done is that I have finished a half and a full Marathon in Mumbai.
