CURRENT MISSION

To make my feet shrink so that they fit my shoes ( It might also make me feel a little like Cinderella)

ABOUT ME

I'm finally back home after a year of gallivanting around Europe. I spend most of my time complaining about the weather and traffic. I do this not because I'm "foreign return", but because I have hyperactive sweat glands which don't appreciate the Chennai heat and a perpetual fear that I might get run over while trying to wade through Chennai traffic.

Now that I'm back, I have the rest of my life to figure out and live. I'm hoping to meet someone interesting, go somewhere interesting and do something outstanding.

PHILOSOPHY

"I'd rather live a life of 'Oh well's than 'What if's"

(The words are borrowed and the sentiments are shared with an Author unknown.)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I show up for every other couch surfing activity that I can make it to.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed once, hosted once and met very many lovely people over different cups of coffee :)

Interests

I like to obsessively take pictures of anything I find beautiful, I like to lose myself in books, I like to watch movies that make me think, I like to meet people who make me laugh, I like to write about interesting people and things I chance upon, I like to have experiences which change my life.

Music, Movies, and Books

Coen brothers for movies. The Beatles for music. Books are whatever I can get my hands on, though I suffer from a perpetual Harry Potter hangover.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In a 30 day travel expedition, I've jumped onto a moving train, nearly fallen off the side of a mountain, trekked 3000 feet, been above the clouds, bathed in a railway station, seen how India travels, been stranded in a railway station for 6 hours in the middle of the night, wanted to cry because it was too cold, nearly cried because it was too hot, finally ended up crying for reasons that had nothing to do with the weather, let old friends go, made new friends, remained butt locked for 15 hours and been offered free tea by army men among many, many other things.

Teach, Learn, Share

Given the right environment and a good cup of coffee to go with it, I exude copious wisdom on trivial issues of no importance.

And given that I'm in a perpetually volatile state, I'd be willing to learn just about anything that's worth learning.
