I got my B.Tech. and M.Tech. degrees from the Computer Science Dept. at IIT-Madras in 2003. I recently, and successfully, defended my Ph.D. thesis in computer vision at UMD's Computer Science Dept. I spent my pre-IIT life in Lucknow, the erstwhile city of gardens and still, the city of Nawabs. Being the seat of the kingdom of Oudh, it has many quaint buildings, narrow crowded streets and (somewhat of an endangered species now) "Lucknawi Tehzeeb". When not pretending to "further the knowledge of mankind by working at the cutting edge of computer vision technology", I while away my time with nawabi shaukh. These include listening to the Beatles and Bebop, photography and esoteric reading. If you are also a Beatles fan then check this amazing web site. It has a "nice" intro, lyrics of most of their 214 songs, trivia, links to Beatle memorabilia sites, the works. I am the proud owner of a Canon AE-1. A hand-me-down from my father, its a couple of years older than yours truly. Needless to say, my father kept the F-1 with himself :-). I went to the dark side a year ago and bought a Nikon DSLR (D50). Surprisingly, it is not too bad.
