About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel, learn, help and share.

ABOUT ME

Enjoy good conversation with people from all walks of life. Enjoy traveling and looks like I might get ample opportunity to do so at my current job!

PHILOSOPHY

I started a new console on my Slack OS and found this amazing quote that I keep telling myself again and again:

Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn't matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle: when the sun comes up, you'd better be running.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

CS meetings, parties or a meet-up for drinks. Hosted just once and might again if it is convenient.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far it has mainly been CS meetups. But had a great time in my own city Bangalore. Besides, met some great Csers in Shanghai and Bangkok.

Interests

Reading, traveling and drinking. I've been reading for so long and realized that I barely remember the best parts in the novels I enjoyed reading. So decided to create a blog with bits and pieces from each novel that I would like to remember and share with others. http://booksandlines.blogspot.com/
