I am a former mechanical engineer who is studying design (master's) in India. I am currently doing my thesis project at ISRINGHAUSEN, Lemgo, Germany.

I really enjoy talking about different cultures and drawing comparisons and similarities and it is often thought provoking and eye opening!

In my free time, I would just head out with my camera trying my hand at street and architectural photography, or just do some drawing or just sing (beside watching movies)...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

On my last visit to Germany, I tried couch surfing for the first time and it afforded me a long lasting and really enriching friendship with my couchsurfing host!

Unfortunately, after that I haven't had the chance to travel, until now (and once again in Germany!)

I enjoy couch surfing because I can travel on budget, get to experience the place almost like a local (because I travel with one) and not like a tourist, and get to meet new and interesting people (best combination)!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - Indian classical, ghazals, even old movie songs, alternative rock, jazz there are just so many! Just good music (which just compliments the mood)!

I used to be in alternative rock and all but am shifting towards my country's regional and folk music scene and it has been a revelation - so much good stuff happening!

Movies - An evening in Paris, Avengers, City island, Bridge of Spies, Shawshank Redemption and many more.
