Programming
As a computer science graduate student, I am very crazy to learn new computer languages, explore new concepts, finding solutions to problems and searching new ways of solutions. This craziness led me to learn wide variety of languages thoroughly. I have excellent programming skills in VB .Net, C, C++, VC++, Java. Databases I worked on are MSSQL server, Oracle and MySql. I have gained experience on working with Apache and Tomcat. My favourite scripting languages are ASP. NET and JSP but have knowledge of ASP and php. At this moment, I can learn any programming language or new concept in no time.
Drawing
Right from my childhood, I have been loving colors. But most of the time I used to draw picture with paper and pencil because it is very easy and convenient. But unfortunately, my portfolio is in India. After coming to USA, I concentrated much more on poems, so currently I have only two pictures in my hand.
Foot prints
Path
No need to say that I have won prizes for drawing.
Poetry
I started writing poems when I was in 8th standard. Then after I never looked back in writing poems. I have a collection of poem which you can access by clicking on Gujarati Poem. All the poems are written in Gujarati (my mother tongue) language.
Game
Once upon a time I was playing chess. But I left it without any reason.
Music
This is the untouched area. But I have a dream of learning guitar. I am hoping to realize my dream in near future.
Dancing
I just love dancing. I used to dance right from my school days. Of course, I participated in dance competition and won prizes. During college time I was, by default, the member of dance team for the farewell parties.
Reading
Very few days of my life are gone without reading. If anybody gives me a book, I even forget to eat. My reading is constrained to newspapers, (Gujarati) novels, very few article magazines, tech blogs and subject books.
Singing
I am often singing, but people are putting hands on their ears. After all nobody is perfect in this world.
Philosophy
Philosophy is the breath of my life. Its a free gift from the God along with poetry. I used to write down good thoughts in my personal diary as well as in my life. I can describe my life using three "P"s.
Power: In any physical or mental condition one should work with equal concentration
Punctuality: If you will appreciate time, time will appreciate you
Perseverance: Fight till the last breath
If I combine three "P"s and make one sentence, it shouldn't be other than the motto of my life
Leave or Live
