ABOUT ME

I love trying out new things, going for outdoor adventure and traveling. I usually hang out with my close friends talking about classes, sports, life and other random things. I consider traveling as an opportunity to meet new people and learn about their culture and tradition.
I graduated from Amherst College, MA, USA with a physics degree and currently pursuing an electrical engineering PhD at Dartmouth College. I have a wide range of interest ranging from science and technology to politics and economics.

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe Diem: It's always better to live in the present. Do not feel bad about the past or worry about the future and try to live each and every day for utmost happiness. It's always good to try new things, meet new people and go to new places.
This, too, shall pass. No difficulty is long lasting; as long as you persevere, you will overcome that difficulty. In the same way, a happy and memorable moment will also not last long; everything happens and ends and we have to learn to live with that.
