Favorite subject
Computer Science and Physics. I have a great interest in Quantum Computing and I wish to pursue my higher studies in it. So I need to be strong with both Computer science and Physics to carry on with my dream. I have read a lot of books and articles on Quantum entanglement, Localisation. I was amazed and taken aback when I understood the concepts to some extent. I'm trying to explore more on this.
My uniqueness
I have a photographic memory and I visualize all the concepts I read. I'm a good listener and keenly learn things from whatever opportunity I get.
Time Management
I align my life with the goals. I usually divide my long term goals recursively into short term goals. I balance my personal life in such a way I make sure I complete my goals within the term.

Curious, creative, imaginative, hunger to learn new things, trying my best not to waste the precious thing in the Universe "Time".

Most proud accomplishment
At the start of 2013, I was put in a challenging project in office and I was pursuing two other e-learning courses offered by CalTech and University of Edinburgh.

Favorite Books and Articles
I read the book "The Mind of God" by Paul Davies. It gave a whole new perception of understanding God. In the book he tried to explain the facts of the Universe using the Statement proofs that we use in Theory of Computation. - Proof by Induction, Proof by Counter example, Proof by Contradiction.
Most influenced factor
Eisntein - he worked in Swiss patent office and revolutionized the world with his ideas. His quote Imagination is better than knowledge is my favorite as I feel today's fiction is tomorrows fact.
