About Me

IMPORTANT 😁: To ensure like-minded requests, I've included a code in the "My Home" section that "must be" mentioned in your request.

ABOUT ME:
I take pleasure in the companionship of others and thrive on the connections I cultivate.

My household consists of my wonderful wife and our kids, aged 15, 9 and a beautiful cat 😺. If you are allergic to cats, 🥶, please avoid. As a family-oriented home, I kindly request single males to refrain from reaching out. We are a traditional Indian family and prefer hosting couples, although females are also welcome. Please note that we do not host exclusively male guests.

Couchsurfing, for us, is about making friendships, not serving as a substitute for a hotel or hostel. We prioritize hosting individuals who share similar interests and values. Kindly review my house rules before making a request.

I observe my weekly holiday on Sundays, with additional breaks on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of each month. If you choose to visit on these days, we'd be delighted to show you around Delhi and may even arrange a trip to Agra to visit the Taj Mahal in my car.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing to embark on a unique journey of exploration and connection. Couchsurfing offers me the chance to not only discover new places but also to forge meaningful relationships with locals and fellow travellers. It's a platform where I can share experiences, stories, and cultures, fostering a sense of belonging in a global community. Through Couchsurfing, I aim to open my heart and mind to the world and create lasting memories along the way.

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC: Bollywood (Indian) Song

BOOKS: Autobiographies

MOVIES:
I have a deep passion for movies and consider myself a dedicated cinephile. It's not uncommon for me to indulge in marathon movie sessions, watching up to four films in a row. I take pride in having explored a vast majority of the top 100 movies listed on IMDb. Beyond my appreciation for Hindi (my native language) and English films, I also enjoy delving into cinematic experiences from various languages around the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've accumulated numerous memories over time. Here are a couple of noteworthy ones:

I once drove my car on an incredibly rugged road at an altitude exceeding 18,000 feet. Despite the challenging terrain, the experience was truly remarkable, and those memories remain cherished.

Another unforgettable moment was when I found myself stranded in Svedlanka (Russia) during a nighttime journey on the Circum-Baikal train route. With no available options and a sense of uncertainty, a kind railway station employee came to my rescue by providing a place for me to stay overnight.
