Brief Biographical Sketch:
I grew up in a tiny city located in the Northern regions of India, and won the SIA Youth Scholarship-'07 to fund my last two years of high school education in Singapore. I took an year off before attending college, in which time I pursued a majority of my passions: I traveled and explored Egypt, got some serious writing done, read some science non-fiction, rocked on my electric guitar, and built a corporate website, apart from traveling to various parts of India to see my now-widely-dispersed friends after over four years.
