Completed Prarambhik (Beginner) and Praveshika Pratham (grade 1) in Indian classical music on the synthesizer. After 2014 I shifted from Indian classical to Western and International music to explore the many genres and sub genres of music. The classical training I received laid the foundation for music production and composition.   

 Scored a Distinction in ANCQ 2016 Olympiad in 10th grade.

When I was in high school I was a member of the computer science club for two years. In the 7th grade I won the first place for logo design. This was my first attempt at logo design and I continued it over the years for several occasions. The challenge with this competition was that we were allowed to use only the pre-installed software available in windows 7.  The 8th grade was when I started coding in scratch. I made several games which were used as mini games during the annual day of NPS. When tasked with a comic design using scratch, I made a comic strip about a sculptor pushing a piece of marble up a hill. It would take him several days of effort and hard work just to push it up the hill whilst other artisans would mock him. However what they never realized is that on top of the hill wind blew cool and moisture was low which allowed the artisan to make superior art that sold for much more that his competition. Since his palm didn't sweat either, his tools retained their durabi...

In the month of November 2019, I ran my first quarter marathon that was presented by Ovum hospitals group to raise awareness and funds for providing premature babies a second chance at life. I started the race with a good pace, even finishing 5k in 26 minutes, however my stamina didn't last long and I slowed down in the second half. The roads were cleared and the weather was pleasant early in the morning. In a way, by running this marathon, I was motivated to take my personal fitness journey more seriously. Overall I finished in 1 hour and 2 minutes, a time that I aim to beat in my next marathon.

Abstract Today the energy meter is placed in the domestic or commercial sites and collects the data of the energy consumed and displays it on either a number dial or digital display. At the end of every billing cycle the person from the service provider has to visit the place where the meter is placed to get the reading and to note it down for further bill generation. The present system of energy charge is fallible and also long. So the purpose of this project is to develop an energy meter which is used to measure the consumer’s power consumption in kWh but also enable and support real consumption and, so meter reader does not need to visit each customer for the consumed data collection and to distributed the bill slip. The energy consumption is calculated using the measurement of voltage and current. It also continuously reads the energy meter readings and automatically sends some updates like low-balance alert, zero-balance alert, recharge alert when necessary, to the registered numb...

Paper 1 GSM Based Automatic Energy Meter System with Instant Billing  E.Moni Silviya, LK.Meena Vinodhini, Salai Thillai Thilagam.J The proposed system for this paper utilizes an IR sensor unit in which the transmitter is placed In the rotating unit of the EV meter. Once current consumption is obtained the arm processor will reduce units for the user. Various energy meters are being developed over the years however the use of GSM provides unique advantages over the technologies previously used. The use of GSM in conjunction with sim technology allows for efficient readings of power consumption to be transmitted, even from remote locations using 2G technology. This paper focuses on the remote transmission of energy values to the power station/user to generate bills on time and asses energy demand patterns, managing fraud and meter failures due to fraudulent or natural causes efficiently.

 The technical fest of BMSIT&M- Tech Transform 2022 was the first tech fest hosted offline after two years of cancellations due to COVID-19. This was an exciting moment for us students and since it had been a long time since the annual event had been hosted, the preparations were taken to the next level. More food stalls, ambient music and massive posters hanging from the street lamps on campus. I designed the banner for my department of Electrical and Electronics engineering which hosted Vidyut 8.0. 

It would truly amaze any individual, when they realize their hidden potential. As cryptic and generic as that statement may seem, it is true. Although amazement not in terms of surprise and excitement but rather in understanding that 'limits' are simply mental barriers set up by the mind to hold on to the past and justify the inception of a journey. The mind is satisfied by comparing the progress from beginning to end. In taekwondo, I have learnt that there is virtually no 'end' in sight. Constantly adapting and evolving to the current situation is a trait that is fundamental in taekwondo.  There have been multiple occasions where the discipline training in taekwondo has helped me tremendously in my daily life. From waking up early in the mornings for a run to staying motivated to complete a tedious task such as record writing, taekwondo training allowed me to work through tasks that most would claim to be boring, monotonous or uninteresting with relative ease. Taekwond...

In the beginning of November 2019, BMSIT&M hosted the Tech Transform event, for which I volunteered to host JAM (just a minute). Tech Transform was a technical fest where the students from all departments of the college showcased their projects which is accompanied by fun events.  As a member of the electrical and electronics (EE) department creative group for the event, I took up the responsibility to create a logo that would represent the EE department. The design would be used on all the posters and would become part of the hoodie merchandise sold for the event. The EE department fest was called VIDYUT which means electricity in Hindi.  The logo I designed was meant to broadly represent all the sub domains of the electrical discipline. The lines on the side of the inner crest were made to resemble the pins of a microchip. The lightning bolt in the middle with a circuit surrounding it to showcase the potential of electrical power. The transmission lines, plug and bulb we...

On a cold winter morning I awoke to the sounds of birds chirping outside my window. This was fascinating to look at because it is extremely rare to find a migrating species of Red Bellied feeder birds in a commercial city such as Bangalore. As I walked towards my window, the bird flew away into the foliage. The next morning I found two of them singing together. Spring was right around the corner which meant nesting season for these birds.  This was coincidently the same time I was experimenting with ammeter photography. I would wake up early in the morning for the next few days trying to get the perfect picture. Over the course of the next few days I tracked their movements in my colony. These birds few very low to the ground, probably to avoid predators since these birds were extremely tiny. After a few days I noticed that the birds flew only near my house and never flew further than 50m.  One day while watering the plants in my garden, a bird flew out of a miniature pin...

On the 25th of June 2022, BMSIT&M hosted their annual fest - Utsaha Vaibhava for which I volunteered to be part of the core planning committee and undertook the responsibility to design a carnival game. The game stall was placed in the central junction of the college campus and was played by around 400 students. The fastest to finish the game end to end won a cash prize. The circuit used was extremely simple and consisted an Arduino board that completed a circuit of open wire drawn from a constant DC power source of 5V whose open end was looped and placed on the edge of the 'U' shaped wooden frame on the start side (left). Once the Arduino detected the completion of  circuit - when the player touches the looped wire to the main wire, a buzzer along with an led receive a 5V supply that would trigger them notifying the player that they lost the game. The circuit diagram is as shown in the figure below. The maze was made to challenging at the very end only. This prompted play...

Abstract  Sounds that originate form nature have amplitudes of the frequency components that are ‘time variant’ or dynamic, partially due the uniqueness of the sound or in broader terms the randomness of the amplitude of each frequency in the particular sample. In an effort to convert digital sounds into a form that is ‘livelier’ an ADSR (Attack Delay Saturation and Release) envelopes were used. A sound envelop is a graph that dictates how a single note of sound would vary over time. This added a dynamic essence to the digital sounds. For example, with Attack envelope ‘bell’ like sounds with harsh overtones and prominent frequencies could be converted into an organ type sound by increasing the value of attack. However, for the longest time there lacked a process to synthesize organic/natural sounds. To put it simply, sounds that are random and that vary with time. In the September of 1973, John M Chowning submitted a paper for an algorithm for a process to produce complex natural s...
