All that is gold does not glitter,Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,The crownless again shall be king.
- JRR Tolkien, Lord of the Rings
Intro:
Namaste. You have reached the homepage of Dhruv Gupta. I am currently busy working hard at University of California at Davis, specifically in hope of getting a Doctorate from the Department of Computer Science here.
I did my Bachelors at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee, India and earned a B. Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering during my stay in Roorkee from 2001 to 2005. My hometown is New Delhi, the capital of India.
And though I am currently away from my home, I miss my family and close friends (The Class of 2005 from IITR) a lot.
You can read more about my random wanderings at my Blog
