CURRENT MISSION

To regress back to the days when sex was safe n flying was dangerous!! :(
To head back to the mountains ASAP.

ABOUT ME

I love to go to extremes!! Share Hobbes' rather dim view on humankind.. strongly beleive all that a man needs to be happy in life is a dog, his whisky and good music :)

PHILOSOPHY

I get all the philosophy i want from Calvin n Hobbes.. n of cos bob dylan "when you've got nothin, you got nothin to lose!!"

"Have I not walked without an upward look
Of caution under stars that very well
Might not have missed me when they shot and fell?
It was a risk I had to take - and took."
Robert Frost

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Broken the Sound Barrier, seen BOB DYLAN live, TWICE!! Been charged by a huge Rhino at Kaziranga n spent about 45 minutes up on a tree tryin to save my ass, rescued a baby elephant left behind by the herd and took care of it for a week before handing it over to Kaziranga wildlife sanctuary, drove 4500 kms in 6 days from the easternmost edge of india to the westernmost, spent 2 days all by myself with no food or water or tent, jus my survival pack at rohtang pass, a glacier at 13000feet!! Absolute solitude at that snowbound altitude is one of the most melancholy experiences possible i think :) Did the around Annapurna trek and Thorung-La pass, Langtang.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well i could teach you how to fly n mebbe a thing or two about jungle survival :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

A nice conversation and pretty much everything I have at home. I live close to the Bangalore international airport, which is a little far from the city, so do factor that in when you put in a request. Also, I travel a lot in my job, so me hosting you would be possible if I'm in town.
