Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to know the truth of everyone. I love to know people's POV towards life. I love to know about others' habits, cultures, civics, mannerisms and most important, their dreams, because the dreams are fuel of life and by that fuel only, the CSers happen to meet each other.

Interests

Film-making. Music. Reading. Movies. Alternative Medicines. Did a Writing Workshop by Indian Writer Madhu Rye and a Workshop on Basic Film Making by Oscar-nominated writer-director Ajeetha Suchitra Veera. Did two full length play as lead role last year.
