About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Four hour work week, Travel the world for a year through the lesser known paths

ABOUT ME

**If you're looking for a couch, I recommend skipping to the couch description. I will bore you with "about me" details when we meet anyway. Getting a couch in San Francisco can be tough, you may need to send quite a few requests**

I follow open source,knowledge collaboration and micro credit.
I watch TED videos.
I love to host, just so that I can listen to stories.

I love unplanned and random trips
I love to cook and feed the "hungry" because, hungry surfers do not care if the food is tasteless

**Quit my job two months ago to travel the world for a year, to grow my startup working from some random beach in some random corner of earth and to work on some social projects. So, no hosting for now.

My Technical blog
http://sourabhtech.blogspot.com/
I create tools related to data mining and plan to move to machine learning/AI.

PHILOSOPHY

"Vasundhara Kutumbakam" (the whole universe is one family)
