ABOUT ME

The idea of me as a person is a work in progress. I haven't quiet figured it out. Yet i shall try for you!

I study masters in IT @ universitat stuttgart.It took me a while to get where I am in life. After a few stormy, turbulent years, I’d say I’ve reached a stage where I’m reasonably contempt.

For some background,
I come from a middle class family in India. The quest for survival amidst 1 billion people has helped me focus on my education. It also took me to meet some of the nicest people in college and work. not to mention, a supportive family. I couldn't have asked for more out of life.

Despite that, I couldn't find contempt. You see, I have a wandering and restless spirit, always in pursuit of something. I have this unfilling need for excitement. The irony is like most people in the world, i have no clue what i want to do with my life. I was successful pretending till a few years ago. A couple of events changed my life's priorities . Typical to most aries guy, I hate growing old. So i reset my age at my 25th birthday to 0 and started a new life and landed in Stuttgart,Germany.

I came with no expectations or to be honest with apprehensions. Yet, i realize i couldn't have been more wrong. I knew there were only very few selfless people in the world. Yet i am lucky to have met quiet a few of them in this short journey already. It definitely makes me want to give more and become a better person. So its not a surprise that i like meeting new people, listening to their stories,experiences ,adventures.

Other minor details:

1. I love practising my meditations, yoga,swimming,squash,tennis .I would like to watch tennis, football,formula 1 and cricket.
2. I was an atheist and still am. But i certainly believe that love is god
3. a vegetarian, non-smoker and a social drinker
4. I have sinus problem and might snore at times( its one of the most embarrasing things that i hate to admit :P)
5. adventure , inconsistent,openness ,competition ,winning,aggression,energetic , lazy are some of my adjectives

PHILOSOPHY

I believe the world is made of sugar. Sure, it comes crashing down once in a while. Yet, i know i would rue not tasting it, for the experience is totally worth it.
Carpe Diem.
