Little bit of academic background! I am Kishor Mahajan, a student sof the University of Georgia (Go Dawgs!), pursuing Masters in Science in Computer Science. I did my bachelors in Computer Engineering from University of Mumbai, India. I am interested in variety of topics - Mainly systems topics: Networking, Operating Systems and Distributed Systems. Recently I have developed a taste in Virtualization! You can refer to my Research Interests web page for more information regarding my current research which is in Publish-Subscribe Systems related to Distributed Systems.

Programming was always one of my favorite parts in academia. One which I preferred over reading stuff. In most of the courses I have completed, I enjoyed programming assignments more! I love to do programming in C/C++ (well, that was the only language I knew at first :D) but recently I have worked a lot in Java and for most of the people, a new programming language - Scala which is based on Java but much more powerful than it. Not much of a web development guy, but I am good with HTML, JSP, JS and little bit of PHP. Thanks to the Internet for helping me out in debugging!

I guess enough of geeky stuff. You can always contact me for further details. Besides academia, I have lots of interests! I love to travel, see different places and meet new people! I don't mind flying but I enjoy long driving with friends a lot! Movies and Music - can't live without it! IMDB, Youtube and Pandora are may be one my often visited websites. Photography always interested me and may be the second thing after joining software industry, is buying a nice Digital SLR camera; of course first one will be a new car :)

One thing I am crazy about is sports. Cricket is always one of the favorites (Don't even remember when did I start playing it) and may be the only sport I played back in India. Now, I am ready anytime for Tennis, Racquetball, Badminton! Not to forget, my current craze is all about Soccer! (or so called "Real football"). Since a month before World Cup 2010, its all over me and my friends :) Of course, though I don't play it (more like I won't play it), I am crazy for Football! (a.k.a. "American football"). I followed college football last year but getting more interested in NFL now! This fall will be all about it :)
