In today's world, innovation leads the way, and Computer Science is the driving force behindthe technologies that change how we live our lives and even how we interact with oneanother.

(When) I entered college (I was) and was initially overwhelmed by the classes which

involved both theory and practical. Down the line, the Computer Science and Engineeringdepartment of my college instilled confidence and inculcated in me practical knowledge ofthe fundamental concepts. Subjects like Data Structures and Algorithms, Object OrientedProgramming, Computer Networks, Web Technologies intrigued me. I realized that I couldgrasp new concepts quickly and excel beyond the expectations of my superiors. Given my

preference for practical expertise, the projects that I worked on in college (further concretisedthe desire to pursue?) gave me further motivation on why I should further pursue amasters in computer science.

I created an offline website using Servlets in JAVA as a part of a Lab project, which fuelledmy interest in JAVA. I created a Hospital Management website using JAVA as a front endand Oracle as a backend using java jdbc odbc connection. My proficiency in coding

particularly in JAVA enabled me to easily experiment variant possibilities and my knowledgein JSP Java Server pages also helped me understand Web-based applications using theGraphical User Interface.

The passion to code further led me to work on a socially beneficial project with the aim ofhelping the children of The Spastic Society of Tamil Nadu (SPASTN). As Part of a threemember team for Kurukshetra'13, an international techno management fest hosted by Collegeof Engineering Guindy, I developed a Math Assistant software which enables the children to

perform mathematical calculations and construct and understand functional graphs with ease.These children, affected by cerebral palsy, are physically challenged and are restricted byminimal movement of fingers. The user interface of this software involves a scan whichmoves on the screen over the objects present and whenever the required object is highlighted,a click of the mouse with the cursor anywhere on the screen selects that object. All arithmeticcalculations, linear graphs and geometric shapes can be easily drawn and understood withoutthe children having to move their hands at all. The programming language used is JAVA.

I partook in an In plant training at HCL Career Solutions where I gained real-world expertisein concepts such as Computer Networks, A+, N+, Ethical Hacking, Cloud Computing andRed Hat. This incited in me the impulse to pursue Computer Networks for Masters and to

blend (enhance? Because blend sth with sth ) my understanding of software and networks.To gain further experience in Networking I pursued an internship programme in IndianInstitute of Design and Manufacturing under this domain. I worked on The Open flow

protocol which is part of the latest research t opic in Networking Software Defined Networking . I mainly focused my research on the topic Internet Traffic Analysis inOpen Flow Networks . It was an invigorating experience that taught me how to co -ordinatewith my fellow interns and discuss problems and come up with various solutions. It taughtme how to survive in a research oriented environment and tackle a problem. For the first timeI learnt what leadership skills really are.

My Final year project is based on the Handover Management in Heterogeneous Networks (4gLTE).We aim to simulate efficient handovers using moving direction estimation and cellularlocation to predict the target handover cell.

I have organised Technical events such as circuit debugging and paper presentations for my

college symposium ABACUS which helped me sharpen my leadership qualities and teamspirit. Being the co-ordinator for these events it helped refine my management skills andaugment my adeptness in solving predicaments. My curiosity in mathematics ushered me totake up many aptitude and analytical reasoning tests which assisted me in solving problems ina dexterous manner and has kept me sharp and sprightly in all situations.

Apart from academics, I have fostered several passions. On the artistic fore, I have pursuedmy fervour in Carnatic singing and Bharatnatyam since 1999 and I have kept it active bytaking part in various programs. (On the artistic fore, I have kept my fervour for Carnatic

singing and Bharatnatyam alive since 1999 by taking part in various programs) I have givenindividual performances in many renowned stages. I also have a black belt in Karate and haveled my team to win national level tournaments. Thereby I have not only equipped myself withself defense but also honed my leadership qualities.

I firmly believe that what we gain from the society should be returned with the same passionas we receive. I am part of the International Award for young people, (The Duke ofEdinburghs Award) which is a Non-Profit Org anization, and received the silver medal. Its ayouth Empowerment Award which involves Community service, Charity work,Environmental Service . I have also taught underprivileged kids in my spare time. I visit theGovernment schools to organize activity for the kids to partake in, thereby enabling them tolearn in a hands on manner.

I would be privileged to pursue my M.S program at your university; to experience theresearch opportunity in an intellectually fulfilling multicultural environment guided by themost distinguished faculty. I prefer to pursue my MS in CS in Georgia College ofComputing, due to the options in the flexibility of the course structure. The research at youruniversity seems to parallel with my interests. Especially the ongoing research in theSoftware Define Networking in the Georgia Tech Network Operations and InternetSecurity Group lead by Professor Nick Feamster. (this sentence is incomplete) My Goal is to

pursue Graduate Studies so as to gain in-depth knowledge that is needed at this stage to upliftthe learning curve in my career. In the long run I aim to pursue (you can omit the pursue?)

work in line with my passions with the fully equipped knowledge that I gain in my Masters. I look forward to a very fruitful, rewarding and pleasant learning experience at youruniversity.

You have used passion 4 times so in at least one place substitutes like zeal, avidity? Pursue 8 times participate in in the internship bit, and Ive suggested omission of 2 other pursues

I cant think of any quote as of now Ill let you know ASAP You are so multi-faceted! I came to know so much more about you today.

Its really well written. I dont understand why you were so self -deprecating! Best of luck!
