I don't claim I'm unique, but I ain't just anyone.

I'm educated in India, Canada, and Italy. At present, I'm an assistant professor of business ethics, teaching ethics, sustainability, meaningful work, and philosophy of research in the master and PhD programs.

Current mission: What's ethics in the present world order?

I'm spiritual, respectful, curious, caring, honest, simple and down to earth, and perfection oriented.

My hobbies are: photography, spiritualism, admiring Mother Nature, cooking, soul-soothing music, Ski-fi movies, laughing and being happy, and living life to the fullest. I like the numbers by Kenny G and Richard Clyderman. I say sorry when I commit a mistake. I know: To err is human, to forgive is divine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To know the world further and better.
