About me!
So, here is an informal introduction of yours truly. If you are interested in further details or a formal resumé please click here. If you are looking for the blog, go here.
... is Rajorshi Biswas. I was born in Calcutta in India on the 26th of September 1981. My school life, probably the best years of my life, happened at St. Xavier's Collegiate School in Calcutta. I appeared for ICSE in 1998 and ISC in the year 2000. In class 10 (1998) I received two awards that made my school life all the more memorable - the Abhijit Sen Memorial Medal (for Science group) and the Father Dobinson Memorial Medal (for Best Student).
After my stint at school, I headed off to study Information Technology at the Indian Institute of Information Technology Calcutta. I am passionate about the Linux Operating System, the open source philosophy and free software.
I spent my last six months of college doing my training from Alumnus Software, Calcutta. Then I got a job at Motorola as a Software Engineer and had to move over to Hyderabad. I worked for 3 years at Motorola, mostly on application development for Motorola's cellphones. Currently I work at D. E. Shaw India at Hyderabad.
...I find it difficult to describe myself - apart from the fact that I am a simple sort of guy who likes to eat, watch movies and hang around with friends. Apart from academics, I have an interest in France and in particular, in the French language. I have completed the elementary French course at alliance française de calcutta. I would, if time permits, like to complete the entire course and hopefully visit France someday!
In sport, I love cricket and table tennis. I am an ardent fan of rock. Some of my all-time favourites include the Scorpions, Bryan Adams and U2.
I am a sucker for good English movies and sitcoms. Am a die-hard fan of F.R.I.E.N.D.S., and love movies such as The Shawshank Redemption.
I spend my rare leisure time reading fiction or surfing the net or chatting. Enough about myself, tell me about you ;)
