CURRENT MISSION

Meet potent minds.

ABOUT ME

I work as a Creative Director at a film studio in Mumbai, and I've been a journalist for more than 15 years with leading publications of India. Also, ex-publisher. Most importantly, I belong to LGBTQIA+, so I'd also like to host open-minded people from the queer community. DMs Open.

PHILOSOPHY

Interested in impromptu adventures and human experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This is my starting point. Give me experiences I will not be able to forget.

Interests

I believe, a man/woman can evolve only in two ways, read books or travel. If you do both, you are a star. I am trying to be one and I would like to meet you if you fly in the same sky.
Exploring films, music, and food of different kinds and endlessly discussing about it.
Are you game?

Music, Movies, and Books

Books

I am a little partial towards literature of the world. Obsessed with the Latin American canon, and the Japanese writers among others. Some writers I absoutely adore and admire are Nabokov, Llosa, Coetzee, Borges, Tagore, Parsai, Dostoyevsky, Herta Müller, Bunin, Kawabata, Orwell, Szymborska, Farrokhzad, Paz, Elias Khoury, Kadare, Bunin, Balzac, Zola, Mishima among others. If not these words, what of us?

Cinema
Open to everything. Some of my favourite filmmakers are Kubrick, Buster Keaton, Guillermo del Toro, Ray, Zhang Yimou, Kurosawa, Bimal Roy, Fellini, Almodóvar, Wilder, Altman, Imamura, Lang, Ghatak, Polanski, Mizoguchi, Paul Thomas Anderson, Ozu, Buñuel, Bertolucci, Koreeda, Hitchcock, Roy Andersson, Víctor Erice, Miyazaki etc.

Music
Sounds that my ears would be able to love. That could include every single possibility of human endeavor.
