My name, Vivek, apparently means a person who can differentiate good from bad. Not quite sure I can though haha. I was born in India, brought up in Abu Dhabi and now work in Japan. I like solo travel, discovering music, running and reading books. I am a good talker but a better listener.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've gotten the chance to travel to various countries from a very young age. I never really got the feel of the culture of the countries I visited because I never got to interact with locals. As a local in Chennai I would like to share some finer details about Chennai and would love to meet new people with a different mind set.
I am a newbie in the realm of CS. I'd first like to meet some experienced people and get to know the etiquette.
