Attended St. Xavier's High School, Ranchi, India. Passed Standard XI in 1974/75.
Ranked 16th (out of 80,000+ examinees) in the All-India Merit List of the
1975 Joint Entrance Examination of the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs).
I (used to) play for the Davis Cricket Club in the
Northern California Cricket
League. It is a long season, lasting from April to October.
If you live in the Davis/Sacramento area and would like to join our
club, please drop me a note at mukherjee AT cs dot ucdavis dot edu
A long time back, I used to play in the Ranchi District (County)
Cricket League. I was also selected to represent the district cricket team.
On June 8, 1997, Vaughan McClear and I recorded an unbroken, 280-run
opening partnership in a NCCA "B" League cricket game against Shaheen B.
At the end of our 45-over inning, Vaughn had 128 not out and I had 131
not out. Vaughan was a little unlucky in that my 3-run advantage earned
me the 1997 NCCA "B" League Single-Inning Batting Trophy! This has been
my best batting performance to date.
Squash
I play squash for fun... about 2-3 times per week.
I used to play for a long time in the UC Davis Intramural Soccer Tournaments for a team
organized by CS graduate students. In our best tournament performance,
our team finished runners-up, losing in sudden-death overtime in
a closely-fought game.
A long time back, I used to play for my university (IIT Kharagpur)
soccer team. My team (IIT Kharagpur) won the soccer "gold medal" at the
1978 Inter-IIT Sports Meet (held at IIT Bombay).
Nowadays, I play soccer on Sunday mornings (at 10 am) with a bunch
of soccer enthusiasts.
