I am Amarnath Kapoor i was born in New Delhi. I lived in New Delhi from 2000-2004 then went back to India and then came back to NYC on 4th of July (nice day to come right ??). I love photography and in my spare time read photography books or look at works of other photographers. Well after a month of college i feel things are really better now because now i have made friends and have joined lexicon (the college’s yearbook) and i get to go to most of the events and shoot pictures for the yearbook. I hope to become a professional nature photographer and have the best gallery of wildlife/nature/landscape photos. Even though i know i might not pursue photography as a career but will definitely always pursue it as a hobby. I have added a gallery so you can see some of the shots that i have taken. The only problem was that this is an old camera but anyways get to shoot with a 5d mark II for lexicon so i’m happy and i will upgrade pretty soon. I feel after a month of New York I have finally settled in and have started to enjoy my  time at Baruch. Hope college life gets better with every day that passes by

Who am i?
I’m 17 , was born on 18th Jan 1994, and well honestly that’s all I know about myself, we think we know ourselves the best and we could write an much as we were asked to but now when I am actually writing about myself I’m amazed at how little I know about myself. My name is Amar Kapoor and my previous name was Ksheetiz Kapoor ( bet you can’t say it) , and I changed my name because most people couldn’t say my name and it would take me an hour explaining how my name is pronounced. I’m from India I was in New York from 2000- 2004 and then I went to India and now I came back to NY on July 4th. I think of myself as a good friend I’m always there for my friends whenever they need me however I’m not too good at taking the initiative of talking to a stranger. Back in India almost the entire school was my friend and everyone knew me but when I came to Baruch it all seemed so different. The day I had classes I didn’t know anyone and since it is a commuter school students just attend classes and leave. I wish I lived in the dorms they are cool (sorry I’m going off the topic ). I’m kind of the guy who acts immaturely to have fun and would do the stupidest things to make people laugh in my high school I was always doing something or the other to make my friends laugh but now I don’t do that because back in India since I knew everyone I was more comfortable with all that.
I think my college experience has been very different from my high school experience. I feel relieved now because I don’t have to study as much as I had to in India. We are taught to be self-dependent in college and our teachers don’t keep on reminding us what to submit. College is more flexible I have joined lexicon; our college’s yearbook and I enjoy taking pictures of most of the events happening in college and meeting new people oh yeah! I forgot to mention I love photography, and im really passionate about it.
I think my main concerns will be making new friends, coping up with college’s grading policies and getting a good grade.
I think the first year of college will have a positive effect on me I will become more knowlegable, will gain more experience, my communication skills will increase and I will be able to socialize easily.
