about me

I, Pankaj Mittal (no nick), was born on Dec 28, 1983 (around 8 am :) ) in a village named BallabhGarh near Bharatpur district in Rajasthan. My father,Shri Vijay Kumar Gupta, is lab technician in T.B. clinic in Kota and my mother, Meena Gupta, is a house wife. I have a younger brother, Neeraj and a sister Kalpana.
I have done my schooling from kota from state board of rajasthan. Up to class 8th I was in a very small school, having 7-8 students in each class, so it is not worth to say that I was topper of my class. Anyway up to 8th I have enjoyed my childhood fully, I played a lot 'gilli danda', 'cricket', 'kanchiyan (goliyan)'...etc etc and flying kites all the day. I was completely notorious boy among my neighbours because even 'chilchilati dhoop' then i used to wander around...my mother always used to be angry with me and beat me because of these 'karname'.
Anyway those were the days, I can't forget, best days of my life. But as soon as I entered in 9th class in slightly better school I became sincere from day 1. My father always had believe in me, he never forced me to study or so...becoz he knew one day he would automatically understand his responsibilities. He always supported me. When I missed merit in board (10th) just by 7 numbers, and one of my classmate had got it, it was the turning point of my life. I went underground after that day, my neighbours didn't see my face after that day in streets. I got to know about IIT-JEE exam from one of my friends, and he told me, "If you clear this, then you will get better job". I didn't know that it is just a entrance test for college...I had one point in my mind that If I cleared then GOOD JOB..that's it.
I started preparation from 11th itself and went through in 2002. In IIT Kanpur I have learnt most. Although I can write many pages on IITK Life but the ultimate achievement was High Confidence and simple motto -'there is nothing that i can't do'.
So this is my background. Overall If I say I am very simple, cool, confident, positive guy. I try to avoid things that can give me tension in future. Always ready to learn new things. One more thing I am very moody and it helps me to learn lot of new things which I probably never would have learnt. My view is 'at least try once no matter what it is'.
