自我介绍

I am a retired career diplomat. I retired as India's Ambassador to Hungary and Bosnia & Herzegovina in July 2015. Since then I have relocated to my home town and living in my ancestral home which has been extensively refurbished. I have meanwhile successfully completed my doctorate and currently involved in several academic and social activities. Puri, though a small town located on the Bay of Bengal in eastern India, boasts of the world-famous Jagannath temple, a long shoreline and a salubrious climate the year round. I have plenty of cultural artifacts, books and memorabilia collected over years of diplomatic travels and built up an authentic Indian decor with a small but cosy garden where you can relax in the evenings. Welcome to my home, "Madhusmruti', for the most memorable home stay in Puri. I am an open minded secular person and love meeting people and making friends. Have traveled to nearly 70 countries in the world, big and small, as part of my diplomatic life, though the desire to travel is irresistible in me. I'd always like to see and experience the world around. I have liked almost every place I have seen, but if I were to prioritize 5 out of them, would keep New York, Berlin, Budapest, Tehran and Seychelles, all of where I have worked. The things I can't live without would be travelling, listening to music, photographing (not selfi(e)sh!), writing and public speaking and making friends. The motto of my life is to never finish with life, keep exploring and loving life because it's only one life that you have got from your Maker. Serve and love people in whatever way you can. I await guests from Airbnb from all over the world. Trust me, you'll enjoy my home, the town of Puri and find something unique in your stay here. A big WELCOME!
