Hi Michael, your website is pretty neat, but I'd suggest you to put the projects on the first page, and your "experience" below that. You might want to check out Google Summer of Code, though I'm not sure of the dates.

I think if you are not a native English speaker, you get a second language for free! And Indians in general have three languages, their local mother tongue, national language (Hindi) and English.
