Learning is , to me, a predominantly personal process, the active engagement in questioning, investigating, experimenting, analysing and constructing my own frameworks of reference. I owe much of my academic success to these practices of self-directed enquiry and problem solving that enabled intellectual engagement with the subjects , especially at the undergraduate level. As a student of Computer Science engineering I was exceptionally cautious to avoid restricted curriculum based learning and tunnel vision.
While I placed importance on lectures , mandatory assignments , projects and periodic assessments, I was also insistent that I would not follow the beaten track and created space for myself to explore and experiment wit theory in the labs. I wanted to solve problems without any preconceived notions of how the solutions should be, taking responsibility for both success and failure and learning from the

Also, is this really needed?Outside the campus, Cycling is regular practice , the numbers encouraging me to keep at it. I clock 150kms on an average per week. I have been sketching from a young age, which over the period , has evolved from landscapes to automotive design and 3D modelling after I took up Engineering Graphics in my freshman year. I thrive in the refined blend of creative flights and key design processes, and the hobby has grown to be very special. This is one area I intend to keep integrated with my core technical training , exploring ways in which I can make it work with computer science technologies and discover new expressions.
I enjoy directed reading, current affairs, Geo-economics, Geopolitics, Technology, the Online advertising sector, Start-up ecosystems, being areas of interest. I cannot claim to know the fields in entirety , but I know enough to help me air my views and form my opinions. Cross-pollinating the brain with diverse input is a remarkable way of exploring many possibilities in
