CURRENT MISSION

Keeping up with my greed for travel is big on the list. There's also bunch of stuff about stages 1, 3, 4 and 5 of Valliant's theory of personal development that I'd rather not go into right now. Do look it up, if you have the change, there's a lot of work to do.

ABOUT ME

I'm still struggling to find the right haircut, happily busy at most times, always distracted, chatty, and never bored. I work with a business consulting firm in Bombay, where I used to live with my husband. Work has taken us to different continents, and we are powering through! I have what can only rightly be termed 'wanderlust' and I dream of living in Barcelona (edit: New York) one day.

PHILOSOPHY

There are no rules to this game, you make them up as you go. "Choose and Endure" is a phrase I use often inside and outside my head.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting, surfing, events... there’s a lot to do here and to some I have been able to contribute all of them at some point. I am looking forward to being part of this truly global community, make things easy for those visiting my country. You know I will :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met the best people here thus far and that inspires me to reach out to the rest of you.

Music, Movies, and Books

Joy is Music. I often float through phases of obsession with Carnatic, Sufi, old-fashioned Rock, alternative Rock, anything else with a good beat.
I've recently revived my appetite for reading. As with everything else, the spectrum is wide - food economics, fantasy, science, and Indian mythology are some of my ventures from this year.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm a city girl. I saw Bhutanese teenagers grooving to Sean Paul and Bollywood numbers in a club in Thimpu. Into the wee hours they danced and I couldn't help thinking how cultures are being created and moulded, all the time.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can cook! I'd love to share some tips on cooking Indian food. Insights on India, Singapore and Oman. How to make paper wreaths, Martha Stewart style. I also know a few jokes.
