I studied Administration in Lancaster, England.

After that I start to work for Bank of New York. Before I worked in Manchester´s branch for 15 months. Recently I join the branch in Pune, India.

How has been your time in abroad and how you feel about India after coming back?

I had a great time in the UK. There I felt somehow different. I felt to belong to somewhere else. For 3 years I ended up in a small Indian community. Than I moved to Manchester to work and had a big cultural shock. I adapted a new lifestyle, found many new friends and had a very good time.

So how is India now?

Well, I feel respect to present life. It is good system for a person to life although a person has no space for him self in India. For my self I like to life more European and organized but as I am here I don´t mix my lives. So I follow all the Indian traditions in this place. I won´t westernize nor easternize again.

Definitely I want to go back to live in Europe.

Where did Lukas meet Rajen?

Some friends from Germany came to visit the Madurai Festival. That time Krishna hosted all of us via couchsurfing.org . So we all slept in house for 2 days.
