I am Utkarsh. I was born and brought up in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh.I've been living in Hyderabad for some time now. I spend my time writing code, reading fiction , and trying to convince people here that it's the EASTERN part of Uttar Pradesh( my home state) that's thuggy, and Lucknow( my home town) doesn't fall anywhere near there!
I like to travel, binge watch television series, try out different cuisines,meeting new people(duh), and wandering.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I heard about couchsurf a while back, and I got blown away by the idea( okay, maybe it wasn't that dramatic). But who wouldn't want to meet new people,making friends while helping them out AND get to stay with locals while travelling! so I made a profile here last year, while I was still living with my parents, and then completely forgot about it. Parents' house. What can you do.
Anyway, now that I have a place of my own, I am ready to see if it really works.

兴趣

Food.and you'd too think it counts as an interest if you knew how much I love it. One of my major aims in life is to try out as many cuisines as I can.yes, that includes scorpions on a stick http://i.cdn.travel.cnn.com/sites/default/files/styles/inline_image_624x416/public/2012/07/13/inline-9.jpg?itok=BYAz19KZ
I read a lot of books.
I like to wander when I'm in a new place.I think that's the best way to explore.
I like photography. and no, it's not just because I own a DSLR.
Some of the pictures I've taken: https://www.facebook.com/The-Starving-Artist-677555368977914/
I like to travel( who doesn't)
I like adventure sports( again, who doesn't)
I like old, heavy motorcycles.
I like collecting vintage shit( posters, old tin boxes, et cetera)
I smoke up a bit sometimes.

音乐、电影和书籍

I love Khaled H's books.
Harry potter fanboy ,through and through.
Mario Puzo.
Dan brown( except the da vinci code. that was the most over rated drag in history)
Shantaram.
It would take more than a Saturday afternoon to list all my favourite books. so that's it for now. I have more than 300 odd books, and I don't believe in lending them anymore, cos no one believes in returning the damn things.

I listen to everything.

I watch everything.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I once jumped off a 60 feet high cliff into a river. I thought that was pretty amazing.

教，学，和分享

I can teach people how to lower their inhibitions about food.
I can learn about the 99.99999% things in the world that I don't know about.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

Ever since I've started living on my own, I have realised how important hygiene is. I ALWAYS wipe the the bathroom floor dry.
I HATE clutter, so I make sure I don't create any of it myself.
I am far more careful with other's stuff than I am with my own.
I love a conversation, but I also understand the importance of silence.
