CURRENT MISSION

Its my long harboured emprise to cover as much ground as possible in this lifetime. I figured its best to start young and crazy :P

ABOUT ME

Ever get this feeling -there is lot to do in this life and there is very little time. I am one of those.
I have been working on-board ships since 2008, have traveled around wherever my work takes me.Its been quite a delightful experience but not quenching enough.

Living in my hometown since birth. Don't smoke, drink occasionally. Don't have any pets.

PHILOSOPHY

Life for me is one day at a time(rather i try to make it that way). It is beginning each day with my favorite music, being enthusiastic habitually, being modest, packing for extemporized travel, keeping secrets, taking risks, buying gifts for loved ones, building bridges, being romantic, taking a scenic route once in a while, relish a booze eve. with a friend coincidentally happen to have met in a mall after a long time,prioritizing, doing nice things for people who will never find out,being vulnerable, being accommodating, giving second chances and No Regrets, Period!

Years from now i wish to see myself as a person of culture, adventure and compassion.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I can't call this one couch-surfing exactly.It was summer of '04. I was travelling to Pune with one of my friend. We had just finished school in march earlier and were savagely busy applying for our Bachelors admission application. We got lucky for we were shortlisted for one of those entrance test which was schedule 2 days from our travel date. Having received the admit card at the last minute there was no way we could get confirmed ticket to a place a 700 miles away. We boarded the train with a waitlisted ticket anyway. It was a 28 hrs run to destination. We got our bedsheets/old newspapers ready to couch back by the first bunk's aisle floor. The occupants in the bunk beds were a middle- aged family from mumbai travelling with their kids. We had just shared greetings and somewhat know-how of each other when we had arrived.
Before we could lie down on the brackish floor we were offered to take one of their bunk beds. The compaasion showed by the strangers was absolutely touching. It was the first and one of the sweetest experiences i have come accross till date.

PS: We also got to have home cooked meal for our journey, the experience was a bliss :)
