Couchsurfing jan 2007

Couch Surfing!! what an amazing concept!! i got introduced to it, about 3 months ago thru a friends wife, and have traveled using CS thru Europe, and had some of the most memorable times of my life!! you meet people you never thought you would end you meeting, see people live their life, they want to live it!! so whats ops us from doing these things?? you are soooo pulled down by responsibility, commitments, love, family!! and i didn't see any of this stopping people from doing things their way... yeah you do a get a bit lonely, and i guess thats the down side to it, but you win some, you lose some.. but this experience motivated me and inspired me soo much, that i have done things i would never have dreamt i would do, rather my parents never thought i would do such stuff, cook, clean , wash my own clothes.. the basic things we need to take care of ourselves, i never did, coz i feel the Indian life style makes you quiet dependent on others.. i had registered on CS, as someone who just wanted to meet up for coffee or tea... and within a span of just 20 days i met 3 people, from tot diff walks of life, very nice people, and had a chat with them abt traveling and people, something no one seems to be interested i talking abt, here in chennai. “Life is all about timing... the unreachable becomes reachable, the unavailable become available, the unattainable... attainable. Have the patience, wait it out It's all about timing.” and i guess its true, coz today, i had a mail form a girl in south America, who is gng ot be visiting chennai, coz she is gng to studying in India, and i guess the first person she ha mailed is me!! somehow you jus like people, when you see their photo, and thats whats happened, and i am sure she is gng to be my first ever CS house guest!! lets see how it goes...
