About me
I was born in Lucknow, on 7th May 1985. I did my schooling from St. Francis College, Lucknow. Currently I am pursuing my Engineering from Ajay Kumar Garg Engineering College Ghaziabad. Since beginning I have been a Computer Addict ( Mainly Playing Games on it.) but started a bit of programming when I was in my class 6th . By the time I reached class 11th, my interest developed more when Mr.Bhalla, my Computer teacher gave me challenging questions to solve.
My hobbies are to Play Computer games, do Programming in C\VB .Net and also maintaining my website on my hostel LAN. Listening to Kishore Kumar’s Song and playing Unreal Tournament is what I like to do in leisure time.
 
My future goal is to develop quality software for people through which I could change the way of life of people and the way they communicate. I not only want to excel professionally but also socially. I even want to become a good human being and serve mankind in the best possible way.

LAST WORDS
 
In the present context I will say that working with Microsoft was one of my dreams, which is partially fulfilled when I joined Microsoft IDC Hyderabad as an intern of code4bill contest. It would be completed only when I get a job offer from Microsoft. Moreover to win this contest is everybody’s dream and so was mine. Hence I would be trying hard to complete my internship successfully and face my expo and interviews to my best.
