One brief random paragraph about my hobbies (in no order) – math-puzzles, word games, mathematics (first love), computer science (second love), coding, poetry, dramatics (third love), debating, electronics, technical activities, watching movies and TV series (fourth love), rubix-cubes, sudoku, collecting coins, economics, cricket, volleyball, table tennis and adventure-sports. I came into this world as a noisy little baby troubling a few nurses and my parents in a small hospital in Patna,Bihar. I did my early education at Patna. Then I came to Jaipur where I appeared for secondary examination. Thereafter, I spent two years at Kota, preparing for IIT-JEE. After securing single digit ranks in IIT-JEE and AIEEE, I came to IIT Bombay. After IIT, I joined Morgan Stanley Strats and Modeling team from campus and spent two good years.
