CURRENT MISSION

get out and see the world

ABOUT ME

Hmmm restless, imaginative, a free bird, a traveller.. in my heart (even if my passport has little proof).. an independent thinker.. ability to spew out mindlessly bull shit conversation, little tact n diplomacy, amazing fun, get mad at traffic and excited at the idea of seeing cows grazing, a tree bent in a particular angle, having a lazy meal in a small little bylane of a quaint town, prone to trusting almost anyone and everyone.. would gladly talk to a stranger sitting by me while waiting for the train to appear, find traveling alone therapeutic and with like minded friends and experience so unique i know i shall savor the memories on my rocking chair when i am 80. travel is not a thing u do its a way you view life.. and having said all that i am a lawyer sitting at work on a Friday afternoon and typing this out knowing that the days of travel are to be mine!!

PHILOSOPHY

You really want to know?? I wrote it down just yesterday!!

MY CORE VALUES

1. live a life.. as in do all that u want to do and feel like doing without being limited by the is is good or bad acceptable or not.. self barometer is the right index

2. Self growth.,.. as far as u can do not be in a rut.. the moment something makes u feel dreary n heavy let go..as in context of that being.. dont do a job if it is killin u to get one full yr on ur CV
or things like that..explore and keep exploring till you find something that you LOVE to do.. and if you do then it may not last forever and that ok.. CHANGE is Perfect.

3. Remember that we Die. .. all of us.. no matter who we are.,so a lot of the worries are inconsequentialâ

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have just joined this community ... less than an hour ago.. and am yet to see how it works.. as an immigrant to the city called Bangalore.. i invite all who need assistance with understanding this mad chaotic sleepy city to mail me.. and i promise to be there

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Incidents to relate.. thats a toughie.. without delving into the details the meeting people from across the globe and living with them for over a month has been probably an experience that has changed my view point on life in lots of ways.. ( okok.. no cut the vagueness.. talking abt a one month resedential yoga course that was the sweetest 6 weeks of life)

Interests

being a hyper lazy bum... jumping around, discovering places, reading a lasy afternoon away, doing some yoga by the lake..mindless conversation with pals sitting in bed, cooking a meal while shaking to some crap music....worrying about life and living in eternal confusion.. being restless and then wondering y and then working at trying to make sense.. drivel is my middle name

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seen the inner depths of a volcano when it was minutes away from exploding.. (ok am kidding have not seen that)

The Maha Kumbh Mela. eh?? (if thats ur reaction read on).. as per Indian religion it is a certain auspicious time of the year when the bathing in the Ganges erases your karmic debts. The "maha kumbh" meaning the GRAND festival comes once in over 24 years and one entire state is teeming with people..people of all kinds there only pulled by faith.. the richest to the poorest, the sinners the saints, the naga sadhus... safforan clad men with the best dreadlocks, city dwellers, all taking part in that one mass event.. for over a month.. its bizzare and unreal.. and u cannot erase it from ur memory ever

Teach, Learn, Share

Can teach anyone that wants to learn - Yoga.. and a really really handy verbal tool kit to navigating India.. a MUST GET UNDERSTANDING...( the 5 types of Indian men are.. do indian men holding hands mean something.. the reason we nod like that.. the order behind the traffic.. the dressing tricks)

willing to learn everything from how to make a cheesecake, to the secrets to drinking a beer without burping.. to a spanish nursery rhyme.. the customary way one drinks a saki and how in the world does one ensure u have everything and yet have a light backpack
