I recently graduated in electrical engineering and it's been just a couple of years since I started working in the field of Artificial Intelligence. I was born and brought up in Hyderabad, India and have spent most of my life here. Since getting a job, in a different city(Banglore), I am exploring the perks of being independent. To best describe me, I would say, I am one among the usual Indian Muslim kids, with an Identity Crisis. I was a product of an amalgamation of cultures which makes it difficult for me to identify with a single group here :P
Though it may seem that I am just another bring engineer, I would like to highlight that I have done plenty of crazy, so do not give up just yet. I follow football ardently and play too. I am adventurous and make it a habit to go for at least a couple of road trips a year. I am currently experimenting with poetry wherein I try to "write my wrongs" and reflect upon life. I am also an avid anime watcher with tons of screen time in my memory, so if you are one too, then I can guarantee a lot of content for discussions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Frankly, I opened an account 2 years ago but never completed my profile. I was scared initially of using Couchsurfing in other countries. After hearing about amazing experiences from my fellow traveler friends, I changed my mind, and now I am yearning to contribute to the Couchsurfing culture.
I am currently planning a backpacking trip across Europe, wherein I just want to get away from my usual pendulum lifestyle and foray into the plethora of experiences that life has to offer. Honestly, I just want to get away from work and experience something new to maybe rediscover myself. I believe in self-improvement but, any great change needs a stimulus, and I hope this backpacking trip across Europe will be the stimuli for rekindling something new inside me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I never shy away from learning new skills, no matter how dumb I may look.
I also like mentoring others about concepts I am good at.
As far as sharing is considered, you must know that I lived in a hostel for 5 years, so it's like I have done a Ph.D. in sharing stuff :P
