Hello Internet surfer ! Welcome to my cyber home. I hope you stay here long enough to get to know me a little.

Officially I am in my third and final semester as a master's student in the Computer Sciences Department at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. I came here in fall '95 after getting my bachelor's degree from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur. Interested employers please check out my resume !

Now that you have gone through the official "who I am" you may want to see the personal "who I am". Well, I am a normal kind of guy, born and raised in a small loving family(comprising of my parents and an elder sister) in a not so nice town in India called Kanpur. I came to the states in fall '95 and have had the good fortune (ha !) of living in Madison, which Money magazine rated as the most livable city in US this year (the editor must have come from Greenland to think that the winter here is livable!) I guess I shouldn't complain because during fall and spring Madison is awesome. During summer I was in San Jose, California working at the IBM Almaden research centre so I cannot say much about Madison summers but they are supposed to be great. Anyway I don't regret not being here because I had a great time in the bay area and whatever Money magazine says I think northern California is the place to be !

And now a little about my likes. I love Music(take a look at my cd collection to know what kind), Movies (almost all genres though I prefer romance and comedy), TV (most of the comedy shows, X-Files and Star Trek), Reading (any new stuff from novels to philosophy), Computers and Web-Surfing ! As far as sports are concerned, I love watching cricket (when India is playing and winning), tennis, figure skating and gymnastics. This semester I am trying to learn swimming(finally !) and bridge. I am a nature lover too and enjoy going on long walks and hikes(when its cloudy and slightly breezy). I wish I could get one of those jobs on television travel shows where you get to see all the interesting places in the world and get paid for it!
