    About Me

    An engineer and an M.B.A. by educational qualification made me stay in a hostel for last 6 years and are responsible for the diverse interests and activities that I indulge in. The lush green campus at DA-IICT and the enthusiastic peers at SPJIMR made me continue being actively involved in sports, playing and watching. Besides my engineering days are responsible for my interests in gaming, especially FIFA, which was one of the reasons what developed my interest in Football and also served as a source of information about clubs and players. Besides FIFA, I have also spent decent amount of hours playing Counter Strike.

    My other fascination is the Internet. This again was developed thanks to the 24-hour Internet access at DA-IICT. I love surfing the web which is my prime source of information for almost everything. Not to forget, my likeness for coding and Internet together were responsible for my stints in Web Development which was not only about coding, but also gave me another utility for one of my favorite softwares - Adobe Photoshop, which I love to play around with. Continuing with technology, I would say I really appreciate the products and services by Apple and Google.

    And that is pretty much about me :)

    Career Ladder

    I have spent my formative years in the capital of India, New Delhi where I completed my schooling from Manav Sthali School in the year 2004. Electronic gadgets, especially Computers always intrigued me. I always wondered how electric current makes such a machine do whatever I ask it to do. This is what made me pursue my Engineering in Information and Communication Technology from Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology (DA-IICT), Gandhinagar.

    While the courses in engineering gave some respite to the curiosity about gadgets, I developed fascination about software programs and the Internet. Alongside this, I developed fondness for the advertisements I saw all around. This bent of mind took me to pursue a career in management and I still cherish my last few days in the prestigious S.P. Jain Institute of Management & Research (SPJIMR), Mumbai where I pursued my Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) in Marketing.

    My updated résumé can be downloaded here [pdf] or viewed online here [txt].

    Arbit

    The name of this section has a special relevance. A search on it results in a definition which says "A slang in India usually used by engineering graduates." And I guess most engineers would indeed agree with it.

    So, here in this section I would be writing totally arbit things like my favourites, what am upto, any link, song, website, book, etc. that I would recommend all or write about just anything

    I start here with the releavance of the Beta sticker that everyone can see. Yes, this website in its current form is in a beta version. What my visitors can expect in near future is an option of different themes to suit their likings, a slightly broader layout, (depending on my decision) a new section amongst other changes which I will obviously update here and fixing of a few (known) bugs. So keep coming back :)
