About Me

 

 

How much I wish that I keep on Writing "about me". :) But neither would you be interested, nor is it a norm to write autobiography in one's 20-something. For now, I would restrict to a brief account of me, myself and ...(who-else? Oh, now com'on, this is my home-page. Obviously, its gotta be all about me)

My home is in a small town, Rajim (mind you, not village!) in the Raipur district of Chattisgarh state of India (I pretty much wrote my full address). Born on 31st December, I am the eldest son to my parents - Sangita and Ramesh Kabra. My father runs a business firm in Rajim, and my mother is housewife. My younger brother, Ritesh, is presently doing his MBA, and my sister, Shweta, is studying medicine.

After my early schooling in Rajim, I went to Birla Public School, Pilani. This is an excellent school, and I learnt a lot here. Thanks to the coaching at Bansal Classes, Kota, I got through IIT Entrance Exam and took admission in Computer Science Dept at IIT-Bombay.

IIT is probably the best thing that could happen to any one. It teaches you in ways beyond one's comprehension. Needless to say, I received the most premier technical education. Apart from that, I engaged myself in several extra-curricular activities, which sure helped me in my overall development. Most important of all, here, I got to meet some of the most amazing persons that I know today. I would always cherish so many memories about all the fun we had at IIT.

Presently, I am doing my graduate studies at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Grad School is lot of work, and it often leaves me recounting the easy days of childhood. At times, I really wonder why as a kid, I always wanted to grow up soon!
