I am passionate about being computer geek since my seventh grade when I saw Compaq Pentium III computer for the first time. I was very excited when our teacher took us to the Computer Lab and taught us to turn it on. I was thrilled to know its capability and possibilities of work which we could accomplish with its help. Since then I did all possible things through which I could learn more and more about computers.

I loved to do extra-curricular activities since my childhood and was actively involved in Student Council of my school and Junior Red Cross Circle. During my undergraduate, I was involved with lots of community work for the development of ICT sector in Nepal such as Microsoft Student Partner (MSP), Free and Open Source Society (FOSS), Computer Association of Nepal (CAN) and Treasurer, Information Technology Society - Nepal (ITSN). I was among the first MSP who introduced the Microsoft Community in Nepal. With these involvements, I did lots of events and coordinated National ICT Conference, ICT Quiz Contest for the first time in Nepal and CAN InfoTech (A mega expo of ICT). With these engagements, I came to know lots of people working in ICT sector of Nepal and from other countries too. I was able to meet members of Asian - Oceanian Computing Industry Organization (ASOCIO) and Korean Society for Internet Information (KSII).

Around four years back in March 2012, I first met Srijana Khadgi (My wife) in a party. I went to attend the party with a brother; Anil Bhetwal and she is sister - in - law of that brother. We enjoyed there and I had taken few photos which I posted on my Facebook and tagged the brother and his wife. On that post, we had some exchange of comments then later after a month started to have chat on Facebook messenger. Our friendship started and gradually fell in love with each other. We begin to date and after few meetings, she also confessed her love towards me.
