About Me

I am originally from Kolkata (called Calcutta originally) which is also described as The City Of Joy by Dominique Lapierre but I have spend almost my entire life at Mumbai.

I did my undergraduate (B.E.) (Bachelor of Engineering) in Computer Engineering from Vivekanand Education Society's Institute of Technology, Mumbai which is under the affiliation of University of Mumbai.

Apart from Robotics I am also extremely interested in Mathematics. It is my love for mathematics that has in a way developed within me a way to do things systematically. The world is full of chaos and I believe that mathematics is the only means by which a logical deduction can be made out of this chaos.

I have balanced my studies along with a host of hobbies.

My hobbies include:

1)  Philately            
     I have a collection of about 5000 stamps from different countries of the world.

2)  Coin Collection 

3)  Reading Books    
A man’s best friends are his books. I derive great pleasure in reading books. Books have taught me the ways of life…methods to do things rightly and avoid doing the wrong things….Books have imbibed in me certain principles…taught me various philosophies.
Among the books I have read recently are:
            Atlas Shrugged
            The Alchemist
            The Lord of the Rings
            Harry Potter Series ……etc 

4)      Swimming

5)      Playing outdoor games like Soccer and Cricket
I have represented my class in various intra-class college tournaments in the games of Cricket and Soccer. I am a very big fan of Sachin Tendulkar (Plays cricket for India) and Ryan Giggs (Plays soccer for Manchester United and Wales). Am a Manchester United fan too.
Love F-1 car racing. My favorite team is Ferrari and my favorite driver.......of course...Michael Schumacher.

6)      Astronomy
I had made a telescope during my school days with which I used to watch star- gazing and  sky-watching. Now, I have a good telescope and am a member of a Sky-Watching Club-Khagol Mandal. Visit www.khagolmandal.com

7)      Drawing
Creativity and innovation are a man’s best qualities and these are exemplified by drawing. I have cleared the drawing exams conducted by the J.J School Of Arts. Among the different forms of drawing, I am well-versed with Oil Painting, Glass Painting, Charcoal Painting and Fabric Painting.

Tabla is a percussion instrument and forms an integral part of Indian Classical Music. I have been playing Tabla since the past 11 years. My Guru’s name (My teacher) is Late Brij Raj Mishra.
