Who am I ?
Well, I am also not sure, the more I think about it
the more I seem to be lost in the thought, but the closest approximation would
be Shantanu Nigam...
Where ?
I hail from Lucknow
- the city of nawaabs... presently in New Jersey, working for Reliance Global
Services Inc.
Why ?
I think I am here in the states to work as a
software engg, and as a side effect forget all engg I had tried not to pick up
for four years but had to. Although I am not sure why at all I am here, I know
the answer lies somewhere in those long equations which are written for the
prime purpose of solving q-phy problems, but are more effective as q-phy
busters.
Educational
qualifications
I completed my
engineering in 1998, from IIT Kanpur, in Material Science & Metallurgical engg as
major, don't ask me why, it is absolutely irrelevant because I never liked it,
and joined it only for the sake of the computer facilities which I was much
fascinated about.

More About me...
Ever since I got introduced to a BBC micro, in class
IX, I have been inpressed by the likes. I used to fantasize writing software for
all sorts of things and also created a graphical representation of compounds
involved in electrovalent and covalent bonding using the limited capabilities of
the BBC Micro and my limited knowledge of BASIC. I still remember my tricks of
crashing the machines to get to repair them after school hours so that I can get
more time with it. Though very badly designed, that piece of code was sufficient
to provide me with enough motivation to do something in life so that I get to
write such codes for big companies.
