About Me

Officially a Computer Engineer by education. Passionate about doing something for the world. I'm obsessed with the Sustainable Development Goals and am always looking for opportunities to do my bit for a better world. I am a firm believer in the power of youth to do good for the people around and I owe this passion and belief to the organization that I am a part of, for the past 5 years called AIESEC that has given me many beautiful and life-changing experiences.

I love love love to Sing, in fact, you can almost always hear me humming to one song or the other. I have also been considering to start a YouTube channel for a while now. Let us see how that turns out to be.

I really value the conversations that I have with people I meet, especially when I get to listen to people's life stories because it makes me see the beauty of the universe in the context of how all of us are so similar yet so different too. I am constantly grateful for the journey that I have had and love to share my experiences and stories with people I meet along the way. There's just something magical about people sharing things - whether it's materialistic things or non-materialistic like knowledge, learnings etc. I don't know how else to explain it. :D

Ooooh and did I mention that I love to travel? I love it but coming from a country where you need visas to visit most of the countries, I haven't been able to fulfill that wish to the fullest but as life has been given me another beautiful opportunity to live in Europe, I look forward to all the adventures that lie ahead.

Music, Movies, and Books

[Music]
If there is a song that I can sing, of any genre, I would love that music. If you love Linkin Park, we can jam all day long.
Recently obsessed with Billie Eilish and Maggie Rogers.

[Movies]
Sci-Fi, True Crime or True Story and Horror are what I enjoy the most.

[Books]
I loved The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho because it really made me introspect on how every single thing that happens in your life has a bigger purpose in the future.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't know if it's that amazing. But here is goes:-
My first air travel was solo to a country, I had never been to, to a place where the temperature was -30 degrees and I had never seen snow in my life before that. When I first took a breath in that cold temperature, I thought my lungs froze.
-Siberia, Russia, December 2014

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe I was born with a purpose to do spread happiness and contribute my service to the humankind, does it sound cliched? It's true though.

I look for inspiration from the people that I meet to become a better person and how I can work for a better world. And I believe that one should always be up for an opportunity to understand different cultures, because if we dream about the world peace, this planet becoming a better place to live in, it can only be possible if we start to understand and accept each other's cultures and beliefs. This is why I love traveling, it has helped me grow the domain of my perception of the world and I want to always keep it ever-growing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

[Stories]
I have had one hell of a life journey, have had my ups and downs which have made me the person that I am today and shaped my values and beliefs to be strongly accountable for the betterment of the world. Would love to share these stories with the people who are ready to share theirs as well. :)

[Indianess]
India is one of the countries with the richest and more diverse cultures. There are stereotypes about the country all over the world - that could be right and could be wrong as well. I love to meet people and talk about our countries and break each other's stereotypes because it is only when you know the person and have a real conversation that, you actually get to know the country.
We are a land of spices and good food. Although, I am not a good cook - YET. But I would be happy to share some of my mum's super good recipes with you.

A crucial part of Indianess is gratitude and love. So, one definite thing I can share with my hosts is a home and a family for when they visit India.
