Who is Subhranil

Subhranil, that's what I am called. Some call me Binny, some call me by other dereivatives of these, viz. Subbu, Subhs, Sub, Deb, Binu... though I like myself to be called as "Binny". I am from Agartala, the capital city of Tripura (the 3rd smallest state of India). Its a nice, small city, surrounded by small hills which shares more international borders than national borders and where everyone knows everyone. Born one day before the longest day of the year, I am like any other Ram or Shyam or a Mike or Tom who crosses you everyday. So if you are looking for some thrills, some excitement, some romance some tragedy or some action then you have searched for a wrong person. However, I had/have my share of joy and sorrow, highs and lows - good part is that joy is leading sorrow. And it will continue to be like this...
I did my Graduation from REC Jalandhar in Electronics and Communication Engg in 2001. That was the last degree I set out for, though my head feels I am good for a Masters but somewhere the urge was missing and sad part is its still missing. Got a job in Wipro Technologies, Bangalore through campus but joined in July of 2002. I waited for more than an year with a offer letter in hand and the slowdown in sight. That was the worst time of my life. After working, enjoying 5 years in Wipro, I switched to Synopsys, an US MNC based in Bangalore. Had a stint of 2 years in US from Wipro. I finished my schooling in Agartala from Shishu Bihar School and initial years in Holy Cross School.
From every phase of my life, I have some great people who have been with me all through apart from my family. We are a great family, very less show off, but lotsa of honesty and modesty and love. Have few friends from school days, six more got added from college days and couple more from Wipro Days. Its a small list but a very strongly bonded. Got married in Dec of 2007 and it has been a great till now. Not only surviving but living every moment of it !!
