Hi, I am current pursuing a MA in Historical Studies at The New School in NYC, on a Fulbright scholarship from India.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it is a great way to find a place to crash as well as meet interesting people-- I keep traveling a lot too, so!

Interests

• feminism
• horror movies
• watching films
• indian music
• theory
• trying out interesting food

Music, Movies, and Books

Delta Goodrem is one of my fav singers!! But I enjoy all kinds of music-- pop to classical to Hindustani
Movies: a horror junkie; love period-dramas (recent favourite being The Favourites)
Books: mostly read non-fiction (as a humanities student, can't help it!)-- love Foucault, Lacan, Freud and similar theorists \\ as far as fiction goes, I am a fan of Gabriel Marquez! And if it counts, Shakespearean tragedies!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cracking Fulbright was a great experience. Besides, setting up a Centre for Studies in Gender and Sexuality in India.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: anything related to post-structuralism, feminism, Indian history and culture, visual culture (broadly)
Learn: love to hear about local traditions, histories and culture, besides engaging in armchair philosophy and stuff of life :)
Share: Ideas and experiences!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Indian snacks! Indian music, and lots of ideas! :)
(and I love postcards-- so that too!)
