Born in a village hospital, and grew up in Hyderabad and Chennai.
Being the first to be born in the family, among my uncles and aunts, I was given more than required attention as a small kid.
I don't remeber now where I started my schooling or stayed during at that time. Then we shifted to our
own house in the then developing part of Hyderabad. I attended the state syllabus school, Mahatma Ghandhi Memorial School (MGM),
for my upper kindergarden and my first grade.
My father insisted that I study in a Central board school and was also concerned about my ability to cope up.
I then had to repeat my first grade in a central board school,
Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, Jubilee Hills,
Hyderabad.
After my fifth grade, we had a nice vacation, the earliest long vacation, that I still remember was to the gulf.
My father was then working at OCPL, Oman. My brother, my parents and myself had very good time there.
We visited Abu Dhabhi, Dubai, Sharjah and Muscat and did lots of things together. It was great fun.
My father returned to India and joined a company in Chennai. So we had to shift to Chennai. I completed
my 6th and 7th grade at Bharatiya Vidhya Bhavan, Rajaji Vidhyashram, Kilpauk.
Then shifted to St. John's, Besant Nagar for my 8th through 10th grade.
I then shifted to Tamil Nadu State syllabus school inside the prestigious
IIT, Guindy, Chennai. It is Vanavani Mat Hr. Sec. School. Through out my school life it was
in my 11th and 12th grade, that I made really good friends with whom I still talk with.
I had most fun during my 12th grade.
And there ends my wonderful school life. Then started my College life,
when I joined Sri Venkateswara College of Engineering (SVCE),
Pennalur, Chennai (Madras), Tamil Nadu, INDIA, as a bachelor student in Information Technology.
We had an industrial in the first year to Orchid Chemicals & Pharmaceuticals Ltd. It was a pretty good visit.
I gave couple of lectures in my english regarding the Stock market trading and BSE in specific.
We also went out on one day NSS camps.
The second year passed by uneventful. In my second year only I made very few good friends, with whom I
shared almost anything. the third year is an eventful as I was appointed as the secretary for the IEEE Student
Branch of our college. As a secretary, I was responsible for the functioning of our student branch. The student
branch then had planned for the national level conference christened by us as 'ADTECH 2002'. we had great fun in
arranging for the conference and learnt lot of things in human resource management, financial management and event
management. It was a very good experience. Admidst all this is the GRE preparationa and cracking it. I unfortunately
could not crack GRE.
The fourth year of my college was not much eventful. The last semester project was a major success. We have learnt some
advanced concepts in networks and tried to simulate some of the what we learnt. The topic we have chosen is 'Performancve Evaluation of TCP
Congestion Control Algorithms'. Another important we learnt is LaTeX, which we used for creating the report and also
the final presentation.
For my Masters in computer science, I got admission in
University of Southern California. I spent two years studying various subjects. It was a difficult road to competion of my masters,
but I have enjoyed every bit of it and made some great friends of life, who have guided me and supported me through my difficult times.
My first semester I had taken Probability, Database and Internet Programming Logics. It was tough semester, since it was a sudden change
in the study pattern compared to my under-graduate. My next semester onwards I have started taking some interesting subjects apart from
the regular topics. My second semester I just took two subjects, Decision Theoretic Planning and Multimedia Systems Design. This is
when I started my relationship with the Artificial Intelligence guru, Prof. Sven Koenig and Multimedia expert, Prof. Parag Havaldar. The
third semester, I took High Performance Scientific Computing, Artificial Intelligence and Specification and Design of User Interface Software.
My fourth semester, my subjects are Advanced Biomedical Engineering and Advanced Artificial Intelligence. And in my last semester,
I took a core computer science subject, Analysis of Algorithms. This is semester when I started working at Cyber Spectrum Marketing.
Each of the subjects had projects and assignments and I really enjoyed doing my masters and also learnt a lot of things apart
from just studying.
And that is the end of my student life for now...
