A Metallurgical Engineer by heart with nerves of steel and a composite mind, lost in the materialistic world...???

Well, that is not what describes me best. Rather, I believe that I am an engineer who is striving to evolve out of the complexities of a technical mind and trying to establish his belief in mastering the simplicity.

Graduated with a Masters degree from Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA (USA), did materials research (what's this), written a thesis, published papers and won an award (check My Resume for details). My advisor was Dr. Dorel Moldovan, a great guy to work with, whose insistence in learning has really influenced me a lot.

Grew up in INDIA, a country of vast history and a great mix of diverse cultures.  Graduated with Bachelor's in Metallurgical Engineering (yr 1998-2002) from Punjab Engineering College (PEC), Chandigarh, India. My hometown is a very nice place of historical importance and strong tradition, known as PinkCity i.e. Jaipur, the beautiful capital city of state of palaces Rajasthan.

My Passions

I have a passion for Travel and Photography. I have been to a lot of places in both India an US (been to 16 states so far, 34 more to go). In India, I like Bombay, Chandigarh, Jaipur & Delhi. In USA, I liked New York (the most), San Antonio and New Orleans.

I just love to take pictures from my Olympus C-765. Friends say that I am making maximum use of it by not missing any single moment worth taking a picture. Some of my pictures are in the photo albums here. For the picture on the main homepage, I received this bowl from the International Society of Photographers:
