Personal statement

I am currently pursuing Masters in Science from University of Florida, Florida. I have completed my Bachelors in Technology from IIIT-Delhi, India, with Computer Science as my branch. I have always been a keen learner and enthusiastic to explore new places and technology. I have tried my hands on designing, video editing and hacking. I have always been a book lover and its my favourite past time. I usually read fiction books. I even like writing and have maintained journals since I was a kid.
