I go by the name of Kirtika Ruchandani. I am a student at IIT Madras in the Computer Science and Engineering department (and feel infinitely happy to be so). I am currently in the fourth year of my five-year integrated B.Tech and M.Tech program.

I am greatly drawn to hardware, computer architecture and research that goes into making the most out of silicon, creating better computational work-horses every now and then. I am a crazy fan(-atic?) of a list that includes books by Richard Bach and music by Rob Costlow/Jagjit Singh.

This place is primarily meant to be a scratchpad for my courses, a witness of my attempts at exploring more of VLSI and architecture. The other random, lowly purposes include recording events (pictorially) and interesting trivia I come across.
