Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is an excellent way of sharing experiences, meeting new minds, and exploring this big beautiful world.

Interests

Being yogi and traveller teaches me to lead a life of minimum impact.

Having spent substantial time with the Tibetan nomads, I appreciate human bonds and love creating a sense of belonging for those with whom our paths cross - exactly the way how I have been treated there.

Music, Movies, and Books

What intrigues me in these different forms of arts is the cultural spirit associated with a particular place/region, rather than the particular genre...

A recent good book: The train to Pakistan by Kushwant Singh
movies: Dersu Uzala, Ivan's Childhood, Underground (by Kusturica)..
music: Chopin, Rachmaninoff...
food: mostly vegetarian dishes, Indian ones. Culinary arts have no boundaries. :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just breathe!

Teach, Learn, Share

"Doubt - doubt all the possibilities you have. Doubt what you are doing now."
- Best advice I've received.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Time is the most precious thing you can ever share with someone.

Vegetarian /vegan dishes, Southeastern/ Chinese cuisine with a Russian/Indian/French twist :p
