A family vacation in 2000 at a Himalayan hill station charted my future career. While enjoying the serene environment of the place, I also watched with dismay the havoc being inflicted on pristine nature in the name of progress. I then made up my mind to make environment my choice of study. By then I was already selected for engineering admission and I opted for Civil Engineering which was the mother branch of Environmental Engineering then. I volunteered to work as an intern during my final year with an Environmental Project consultancy. 3 months of full time work I put there became the base for my undergrad project work. It became a model project in the department and I received very high appreciation from my professor. Later, in professional life I took up Environmental Consultancy specializing on studies related to Air Quality.
While working with different air quality prediction models, I observed wide variation of results under different conditions. This variance of actual data from prediction had baffled me for long. I believe that many models (e.g. - ISCST3, AERMOD) we use f...
As rightly said by Hippocrates “The life so short, the craft so long to learn”. I believe that a good mix of talent and dependability are a crucial and potent mix for success. Honing my skills with a Masters’ degree after completing my Bachelors’ Degree In Physiotherapy, I believe would help me develop an array of cross functional skills. Gaining technical expertise in the subject of physiotherapy and then whetting my skills during my internship, taught me to be precise and scrupulous towards every task at hand. Having successfully pursued this field for nearly 5 years, I believe that, if given a chance, these skills endow me with the knowledge to gain an opportunity to pursue higher studies at your prestigious university.
Every great civilization or dynasty has always had one thing in common – great structures. These mammoth man made marvels have stood the test of time and have magnetised volumes of information that are vibrant all over the city skyline. Coming from the Indian subcontinent, we still live in an era where old structures prevail amongst 21st century structures. Blessed with a keen eye to analyze and observe, I’ve always wanted to pursue a career where problems could be overruled through the inclusion of concepts and real time solutions. I have been a consistent performer since school days scoring a high 89.92% in grade 10 and an 85.16% aggregate in grade 12. I have always had an affinity towards mathematics which drove me towards my real passion - engineering. Naturally when considering tertiary study options, Civil Engineering was my first choice as I could see myself working in a field that allowed me to use various maths and physics concepts to solve problems instantaneously. The poise and versatility with which a civil engineer works fascinates me; which in turn led me to pursue my undergraduate degree in Civil Engineering at B.M.S College of Engineering, Bangalore – one of the oldest most prestigious autonomous institutions under Visvesvaraya Technological University.
If there is a single theme, a leitmotif that resonates vibrantly and conspicuously through-out my life, it is my enduring passion for greater and greater achievements in academics. My undergraduate studies at Surya World College of engineering and technology affiliated to Punjab Technical University, India, were pivotal in introducing me to the various facets of Computer Science ranging from Object oriented programming to database management and varying subjects like Human Resource management and various programming languages. I always had a very keen interest in subjects related slightly to management, subjects like Business Intelligence and Digital Media, Human System Interaction as well as Mobile business and Technology have always attracted me. The syllabi in under graduation, afforded me the rigors of intellectual practice, even while giving me the latitude to discover their intricacies and practical applications of each and every topic that I encountered.
I have always believed to set a goal, focused on it, achieve the goal and then again set another goal to achieve that. With the work experience of two years that has imparted the basic skills and knowledge of the professional field; I would like to put my next step to achieve my goal by pursuing Master degree in Computer Science.
All of us are born with a blank book of life to fill, how we frame our lives depends on our decisions and circumstances that shape us. With 7 billion people living in this world, every book differs from the other and it is fascinating how every mind is so uniquely alike. From the beginning of life in the womb of the mother till our last breath, our brain is constantly functioning without us realizing the intensity of complex tasks it takes up.
As we transverse through the realms of imagination and connect with the world of reality, we build personal paradigms, few, which mould our future and stand the test of time. It was one such paradigm that was the reason and conviction behind my decision to opt for CHEMICAL ENGINEERING as my graduate major.
It is often said that necessity is the mother of invention and technology is driven by need. Hence it is the technology that brings about an invention. Engineers nurture technology, thus it is an engineer’s role to bring about a sustainable technological change. Machines and mechanisation that bring about this technological advancement have always fascinated me. I first got to know about a machine, my bicycle, when I was in my 7th grade. I became interested in the mechanism of the bicycle once when the chain slipped over the sprocket. The efforts I made in putting that in place and also replacing the worn out friction pads of brakes piqued my interest in machines.

That was probably the first time I had my own set of building blocks. My parents observed me having fun playing with it and decided to give me more such sets. That was how my arsenal of building blocks expanded and so did my interest in this field.
“Dream, Dream and Dream. Dream transforms into thoughts. Thoughts results into action.” This famous quote by Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam is an inspiration for my life. After graduating my engineering from Visvesvaraya Technological University with flying colors, my next obvious dream was to pursue masters in my favorite subject VLSI. But I was of the opinion that I should gain some practical exposure by working in a research oriented organization to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and corporate world. I was fortunate enough to get placed in my dream company CISCO and got the opportunity to work on cutting edge technology related to System on Chips (SOCs). After 3 years of work experience, I realized to have met the transition point where the next stepping stone requires in depth knowledge about a particular field. My colleagues have encouraged my aspiration and feel that I have the potential for pursuing graduate studies.
