ABOUT ME

I am a management consultant with a Top 3 multinational consulting firm in Mumbai. Stay with my investment banker roommate. We graduated from IIM Bangalore which is a premier Indian B-School. Earlier, have lived four months in France as an exchange student to HEC Paris... spent some of the most memorable times there. Am 25, like staying fit, an electrical engineer by education, devil's advocate, liberal atheist, and appreciate Mozart, Kurosawa and Monet with equal enthusiasm. Like meeting new people and hearing stories of their travels. My dream is to kayak off Antarctica's shores some day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Have had eye-opening experiences re-looking at my country through the eyes of my expat friends. Wish to continue to do the same and meet new people in the process, and of course say Hi when I come visiting their countries which I hope to :)

Interests

I follow international politics incl. geopolitics quite keenly. Also read a lot of non fiction, like staying fit and seeing around the world. Have visited as many countries as my age and want to keep it that way :)

• politics
• sports
• economics
• geopolitics
• religion
• science
• travel

Music, Movies, and Books

Have rated more than 400 movies on IMDb. Favourites include Hitchcock, Kurosawa and Kubrick. Prolific reader of non fiction. Keen interest in geopolitics.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked to Troll Tunga (Norway) and back on a day it snowed heavily. Next plan to run in the San Fermin festival bull run this July

Teach, Learn, Share

My room mate makes peanut butter, Greek yoghurt and some really nice salads... in his apprentice and a health freak too. We got a bench press at our place and tips for a some fatburn too. Don't worry we're foodies when not exercising :D

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am happy to be your itinerary planner for the rest of India, and also take you bar hopping in Bandra which is the most happening part of the town (I live a couple of paces away from some of the most lively pubs of the town). Also keen on exploring some of Mumbai myself since I've been around for only two years
