About me
If you have reached this webpage, you already know that I am a second year M.Tech Computer Science student at IIT Bombay.
I stay in Mumbai, but 20 kms away from IIT Bombay (For people not from Mumbai: 20 kms distance is too much in Mumbai,
approx 1.5 hrs travel).
I have completed my B.Tech from a tier 3 college in Mumbai.
I am glad to be a part of the best institute in the
country and learn from one of the best professors in the world.

Coding
I started coding in my 8th standard when I learned the C language. I like to code, which eventually drew me towards Computer Science and Engineering.

I have always loved playing cricket since my childhood. I began playing with season ball at the age of 14. I was a part of KJ Somaiya College cricket team for 2 years.
Badminton
I haven't played badminton at a competitive level, but it is one of my favourite sports. I usually go to gymkhanas with my friends to play badminton.

I like to cycle around the town in my free time. I still remember my first cycle, it was a small blue cycle which I used to ride around my society all the time.
