I was born in a small NTPC township - Shaktinagar on the border of U.P and M.P and had my schooling at Delhi Public School, Vindhyanagar. I made friends with a lot of people back there. I spent a good lot of my time playing cricket with friends on the streets of Shaktinagar and when we grew up, we captured the lawn tennis court of the club and converted it into our cricket pitch :)



We also spent quite some time going on adventure trips on our bicycles, exploring the hilly lands. After my 10th boards, I moved to Kota for better and more focussed education for cracking the JEE - joint entrance exam - the ticket to IITs. I joined IIT Kharagpur in 2006.



My zeal to go out on adventurous trips intensified after i joined college and I've been doing a lot of travelling in the last 4 years. Some of the places that I've enjoyed the most are Shimla, Gangtok, Grand Haven (Lake Michigan), Kullu, Manali, and Rocky Mountains National Park, colorado. Apart from travelling I love to fondle with my computer, code and do some web designing etc. Of late I have been trying to get into open source development. I'm currently working on a variant of early-release fair scheduling algorithm for OS scheduling and plan to make it open.



I also have quite some interest in Economics and history of the Indian subcontinent, especially India's struggle for freedom.
