A wanderer and foodie woven into one. Constantly looking out for miraculous events, those haunting encounters, and some luck of universe to be marvelled at this thing called life. While music keeps me going, I hate to stay at one place for very long. Not a Netflix junkie, but Gosh, what I wouldn’t do to watch a good old 90’s flick on big screen.
