About Me

CURRENT MISSION

On cruise control, in terms of my work life, so that I have lots of time for other pursuits including music, movies, fine-dining and of course travel!!

ABOUT ME

At the moment embarking on a new phase of my life - running my own firm with a much better work-life balance and hopefully be able to travel to lots of the places I have been dying to visit

PHILOSOPHY

Very open-minded about most things, tolerant to other's viewpoints, have a global outlook on life. Believe in carpe diem and making the most of opportunities that come my way (without hurting anyone else of course)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am relatively new to CS and have had some interactions with CS'ers in Mumbai as well as have hosted a few times in recent months

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have hosted 2 couples so far and by and large both were wonderful experiences, since I got to make new friends, learn about new cultures and sample some new cuisine which my guests cooked for me :-)

Interests

Music (mainly jazz, latin, fusion, Beatles era and anything eclectic), movies, fine-dining, socializing, word puzzles and travel, of course!!

Teach, Learn, Share
