Profile   I have been very interested in the field of networking and wireless communication right from the beginning of my undergraduate courses and have always cherished a dream of accomplishing something noteworthy in them . Even before taking any formal lectures , I all by myself have developed many networking tools & utilities one of which was a real time voice transmission multicasting receiver & transmitter . I have always beleived that practical implemenations , experiments & experiences is what that imparts real knowledge and not dead textbooks . In my quest for knowledge i have often gone astray from the regular curriculum and done extra reading & research from web resources & journals which in the short term may have cost me some grades but nevertheless i feel in the long run will prove helpful .
