About Me

I’m a simple bloke who enjoys going with the flow.
But I’ve realised I’m always chasing meaning in the things I spend time on.

I’ve always been pulled towards history.Not the textbook version, but the stories.The kind that make you understand people, decisions, and how everything connects over time.
Creativity finds its way into my life in small ways.Sometimes I write. Sometimes I just sit with ideas and let them build. I enjoy that process more than the outcome.

Sports has shaped a big part of who I am.I’ve also developed a quiet habit of collecting.Single malts and vintage art.

When I travel, I don’t rush.I like staying longer, walking more, and understanding a place beyond what’s shown on the surface.I guess I try to live the same way.Take my time. Stay curious. Let things unfold.

If that sounds like your kind of thing, we’ll get along ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I am open to meeting people for a drink, coffee and help them out with any information that they seek. I also host people, attend meetups with locals and travellers and try to be an active member of the great CouchSurfing Community.

I Participate in CS in the following ways :

HOST : I can Host upto 3 people. I live in the suburbs (20 mins away from the airport) and have a lot of good places around. It's a busy neighbourhood with malls, shopping arcades, food joints, lounges and much more.

MEET : If you are looking to meet up for a coffee or a drink, we can do that as well. I can also show you around and brief you with what can one do in the city of Mumbai with ease.Being a local, I can suggest a lot of places for any kind of activity.

OTHER
I would also love to participate in workshops or any other group activity that proves to be an exchange of culture and knowledge.
