About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Ummmm,.....when I get the time, to start travelling around. Need to see the world. My immediate mission is to do a two week backpacking sometime before March (and so far, it has only remained in the thought phase)

ABOUT ME

God - I hate these things. What do I say? Well, I take life as it comes. A bit of everything, little music, little reading, little movie watching, little traveling, not-so-little eating, a vegetarian, love cooking blah blah blah. Grew up in Bangalore, studied there, started working in Mumbai, spent 7 years working there, and have now moved to Kolkata. There - I've now killed all conversation that I can potentially have with anybody who's read my profile - might not have anything else to add.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a bed of roses, with all its thorns intact.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted / shown around some wonderful couchsurfers (Jenny & Will, Jess and Jennifer, Rob and (very soon) Eva. Shown them around whatever little bit of Kolkata I am aware of Have enjoyed it tremendously, and look forward to being hosted when i commence my travels.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In legal terminology, there is frequent use of the terms "ibid" and "id", which in essence mean "same as above". It's the same, but "ibid" sounds fancier, so "ibid" it is. If I've succeeded in confusing you, a simpler answer is "please refer to the 'how i participate' section".

Interests

Uh oh. Most of it is in the "All about you" section. Now what? Ok - lets be the parrot. Music, movies, books, eating, cooking (hey - where did all the "little" disappear?), sports, working (yeah, yeah)
