ABOUT ME

Banter and Travel

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet fellow travelers and have a more authentic experience when I travel. Basically to live like a local when I travel.

Interests

I write for a living - be it film commercial or a comedy show, I'm pretty much comfortable across formats. I also dabble with stand-up comedy and photography. My photos have been published by Apple and multiple Indian newspapers. I'm trying to break into stand-up comedy at the moment. I love to travel, take in the sights, observe people, and watch the sun set and sun rise every single time when I'm out on the road.

Hit me up if you're in Mumbai. I've lived here all my life and will give you the most untouristy offbeat recommendations.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach photography, talk philosophy. Learn about local nuances, art, culture and politics. I love watching foreign films - Fellini, Bergman, and Truffaut are idols. I'm also a stand-up comedian, so I can definitely make you chuckle.

I can take great photos. I can make you laugh. I can listen to your stories.
