Data analysis is my present area of interest and will remain in future as well. This is an area of my profession and qualification.

In everyday life people either generate data or use them in some form or the other. Collecting data, arranging them in some order and analyzing them to summarize and compare, visualize and use to generate information for reflection and decision making are important actions that data fascinated- people need to do. There is a general practice that lots of data are collected and dumped into the warehouse unused. If there are opportunities to access huge set of data, I would screen them, analyze and bring information out of them.
