About Me

Poetry. Ukulele. Mountains.

I believe autocorrect makes gentlemen out of potatoes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet solo travellers, locals, artists and happy people in general.

Interests

I have published my writings more than 25 times across journals and magazines in India, USA, Canada, Romania, Turkey, Ireland and Pakistan.

I have given a TEDx talk on 'How to be weird'. Get in touch and I'll share the link. Would love to know your thoughts.

I have also given talks in literary festivals and other public forums in India.

I hoard books all day long.

Love partying and socializing. Love being in the middle of strangers and enjoying the company of happy and passionate people!

I play the guitar and the ukulele and I absolutely drool when it comes to blues, reggae, rock n roll and shoegaze music.

I also work in the social impact sector in India where I'm working towards creating an ecosystem for hardware inventions that can cause disruptive social impact and solve pressing issues in the country
