About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Back to life & work :( for the year/decade/forever ,,,,

ABOUT ME

Passionate bout the environment, meeting people n food. I like to be of assistance. Otherwise just a regular guy.

PHILOSOPHY

From an epic poem: "As for you, Gilgamesh, fill your belly with good things; day and night, night and day, dance and be merry, feast and rejoice. Let your clothes be fresh, bathe yourself in water, cherish the little child that holds your hand, and make your wife happy in your embrace; for this too is the lot of man."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Have assisted with some great meetups & events.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

WOW!it was a blast, my first ever with DUFF in LA. But the whole concept is such good volition for oneself and i'm pretty sure all of us in our own way has given a part of something to someone and been happy in doing so. Just amazed that something as simple as hosting would morph to such a great concept. CS is the best thing I have ever seen in my life. If I had thought about what guys in CS have done --this would be my calling in life.....

Interests

Traveling, I'm the kind that like pictures with people in them and not just great landscapes or whatever....Not that i take pictures. I don't want to miss the moments. I'm the kind that likes to explore without knowing where I'm going. I like getting lost and trying to figure my own way wherever i travel....
I can be alone but only for a while. I guess I like outside experiences.
World Movies, Food & wine.
I am concerned about our planet and would like to do something about the environment. I like to party and don't prefer too many intellectual conversations , I just wanna have a good time! and...oh I'm learning ,,,SALSA, cool stuff I think I will make that my favorite interest soon.

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't read a lot but I like conversations about books, the last I really loved, is about Bombay called 'Shantaram' by Gregory Roberts. I thought it captured the soul of this city pretty well
Music always gets me going but I like all kinds, nothing that I specifically like or dislike.
I dislike cinemas, prefer DVD's. I've seen mostly all popular films. Art & language films is what I see most. I have also produced a short for the festivals - my learning curve to become a "commercial bollywood masala filmmaker" :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Vipassana was one for sure. Recently I got the attend a course where 'Guruji' was present (Thanks to Claire N Marc, my first Couch Surfers)

Teach, Learn, Share

Information, awareness on Ayurveda, a system of Indian medicine & Vipassana a system to purify the mind is what i really love to share but both need a very open mind to follow. I would like to learn to ski and surf. For Visitors: Stuff I thought may help
