About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"relaxing, studying, dreaming"

ABOUT ME

Straightforward, friendly, peaceloving, easy, sometimes lost in thoughts, or being the philosopher.

I love sharing ideas with people and particularly those with their unique take on life. I am interested in many things.

I served in the Indian Army for 12 years in the Signals during which I have experienced my own country.

Then I did a startup, based out of Delhi, had been an inventor, granted patents, developer of crucial technologies to support typing in many languages on mobile phones, won many awards worldwide. Was betrayed, grew disgruntled, wrote a book about my entire experience in high tech politics.

Left it all.
Drove all over the Himalayas - Nepal, Bhutan - over months.

PHILOSOPHY

Diogenes said that there was one only good, namely, knowledge; and one only evil, namely, ignorance.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like funny movies, and action thrillers. Like Blame it on Rio or Die Hard. Ah! Breaking Bad.
I also like social Indian films.

Hindi music of the 70s and 80s are very nice. But today's Indian music is awesome again.

The Atlas is a fav book, also non fiction science like Asimov and reference sections of libraries.
