Couchsurfing 1st Meeting

2024-12-03

After my friend yogini's suggestion I created an account on couchsurfing and then I started a feature called hangouts their I met with Anurag Mishra from MP staying in Gurgaon, we talked for few seconds then he asked for drink I didn't hesisted and I just agreed then I finalised to go on friday night, I thought he might be asking somewhere out to go like bar etc.

But when I asked he was like I have good space at home come here it's good, I said ohk fine vhalo 'paise bach jayenge lol' then I just said how abt munchies we will order from swiggy or something he said yeah will do that. I dindt hesisted much because I saw he had traveeled to many places in abroad and photos were also prooving that.

Then we connected on whatsapp and got his location after reaching their, when asked his address then I saw an invredibly beautiful villa 3 storied building and with 3 cars parked, instant thing that I had in mind was this guy is super rich and it's earnings from his business or something.

When I met him he was as like as he was in photo on couchsurfing also, then he greeted me politely and took me to his house where only he and his mother stays he literally had a elevator inside his house. So after we went to his drawing, he had 2 recliners in front of TV. He had snacks already kept their all veg, nicely cooked momos and sabudana wada.

And asked what to drink so we decided to go with jameson whisky I casually asked him why jameson he said I went to buy this then I liked this so got 20 bottles of this. I was shocked literally 20 bottles! Then we started drinking and asked about each others stories, so I started my travel stories and parallel to that he was telling me his experiences at those places.

He was a good storyteller but not that good listener maybe becoz everytime I was going deeper to my stories he was trying to interrupt in between so I started accompanying him and showed interest in his story because obviously his story was really interesting.

So we started with his family he is single and raised by a single mother who is an doctor and director in medanta hospital gurgaon his father died when he was 18. Then did graduation from IIT and then MBA from IIM where he had few incredible batchmates who made some big names in startups in india like swiggy, zomato, blinkit and so on.

after which he worked with BCG as consultant and during his business travels once in US he tried a cold pressed juice and he like it so much he left the job to do his startup in Cold Pressed juices whe he and his friend invested aroubf 3cr after which the raised 3 5 cr investment and at one time it was india's 2nd biggest packaged cold press juice providers. But because it was too early for India to go for this.

And because of company not growing so much he was not having fun so he shut it don't with losses, and was bankrupt in 2019. Then again he started doing job and got some really good package around 1.5cr PA so he continued job and in 5 hears he made his current most luxury and beautiful home with Carbon Neutral and 0 electricity bill die to high quality sun roof that is unique in that whole gurgaon sector 41.

His last project was for aditya birla group where he consultant and made INDRIYA Jewellers that became India's 3rd largest in just 6 months. He also do provide some consulting in startups to freser people and hia whole moto is don't startup until you are passionate about the process or idea you're working for. And because I wasn't asking good questions he was getting bored of boasting and name throwings.

So, Then we started talking about relationship and his view on relationship was not to marry anyone etc. Because of accees to freedom and he says he will have so much money that he doesn't even worry about his old age period. He can afford everyone for all dirty or emotional help.

And don't seriously need a child if even needed will adopt. Then we I started telling about my dating life that how it's not that active and Is till crave for sex sometimes and don't really like paid sex due to that using as obejct type feeling, he trues to make me understand that sex is always physical and nothing to do with emotional as such just a good romance will make you feel good during sex.

So then we again shifted topic to experience in couchsurfing and he started telling me about gay experiences he had, and I was like yes it's natural that happens but consent should be their to know at least if the next person is into same gender or not. I didn't showed myself disgusted but I told him anyways don't worry this will not happen this time as I am straight so chill.

Then he showed me his house interiors and the paintings that her mother made that were truly magnificent. He is even learning italy so that he can take her mother to italy on her birthday to a painting workshop.

Some incredible stuff I saw were jacuzzi, bathroom that converts to sauna, fully automated lighting system and controlled by alexa all around also the carbon neutral electricity that he have is mindblowing even everyday solar power generation can be monitored using a mobile app as per that analytics he have planted around 425 trees in 5 months and reduced 1.5 ton of coal burning.

Then I change my clothes and went to bed. He also came to my room and asked to sleep on same bed then in midnight he was putting his hand into my pants I was shocked and suddenly asked him to sleep away I am not comfortable with all this. He said sorry and slept far.

But at this point I understood this guy is into men and that's the whole reason behind inviting to hus home to drink and even sleeping on same bed. This is hilarious I never ecpected this. In morning his cook came and asked a strong coffee to get out of hangover and started talking about bisexuality with him and he started telling me about aome spiritual stuff and indriya's gems in a human body etc.

Everything was beyon my head so just kept agree to that and talked some more items then we I left to my place saying good hye and taking a selfie.
