The Road goes ever on
and on
Down from the door where it began,
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many path and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say
- JRR Tolkien

I am a native of Bangalore,
India. I was born there, completed my schooling and then moved to
National Institute of Technology Karnataka (NITK), Surathkal,
Karnataka on the south-western coast of India for my
undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering. For those unfamiliar
with Indian universities, NITK is one of the most reputed engineering
colleges in India. In August 2007, I started my graduate studies at The
Pennsylvania State University, PA, USA. I am pursuing a Master of
Science degree in Electrical Engineering, with emphasis on Signal
Processing, Communications and Computer Networks. My intention is to
graduate with a PhD.

God doesn't play with dice, but something strange is certainly going on with prime numbers. -Paul Erdos
Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty, a cold and austere beauty, without appeal to any part of our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of painting or music, yet sublimely pure. The spirit of delight, the exaltation, the sense of being more than Man, which is the touchstone of the highest excellence is to be found in mathematics.
- Bertrand Russel
