My life

Born and brought up in india, continued my studies till +2 in my home town before moving to indian institute of technology, bombay for persuing B. Tech. in chemical engineering. I belong to a higher middle class family with both of my parents in academia. My mom is my role model. With her strict rules and punctual nature, i flourished and learnt many lessons of life except some of them, which i learnt later at IIT Bombay.

During my Undergraduate Studies, i got the opportunity to work with some of the best profs of chemical engineering in India as a kiddo or as a vice president of our chemical engineering association. After completion of 3rd year, i did my summer internship at TU/e, Holland . During this trip, i roamed around some of the most beautiful cities of europe like paris, frankfurt and amsterdam. I would like to go to switzerland on my D-day..:)

After my Undergraduation, I moved to Stanford for higher studies. Currently, i am working in a biophysics group to develop a theoretical model of chromatin, under the guidance of Andrew Spakowitz. While working in this group, i get the opportunity to interact with some of the big names in this area like Nobel Laureate Prof. Roger D. Kornberg & Prof. Aaron Straight at Stanford, Prof. Carlos Bustamante Group at University of California Berkeley, and Shirley Mihardja at University of California San Francisco. Being at Stanford, i also get opportunity to play golf on the same golf course where Tiger Woods improved his golf swings and rocked the world of golf. A "perfect" practice makes a man perfect, so you'll find me practicing golf every alternate day at Stanford driving range..:) I wish to be the 1st indian (2nd, if you consider Vijay Singh as an indian too) to win PGA tour. I won't mind being even 10th, yes i know i am ambitious, a true day dreamer..

I work out 3 days a week in addition to my other extra-curriculars because i believe in "A healthy mind in a healthy body". I also like hanging out with friends, dancing in parties while drinking alcoholic beverages as little as possible. I don't like drinking hence i avoid as much as possible. Life is beautiful, enjoy each and every bit of it. After all.....
