ABOUT ME

If you ask someone about me, they would most likely say, "What? You haven't met Chinmaya yet?". I think it's a bit of a two way street. I know some people who bring out the best in me and find me absolutely wonderful to hang out it and others who don't quite click.

On my part, I avoid pre-judging people and this has worked wonderfully for me. People surprise me all the time and I have found love, respect and affection from people I least expected.

I am honest about my opinions, I know not everyone agrees, and I am alright with it, I think these differences make life interesting.

I see myself as a nice mix of the spiritual and sensual. I like thinking and reflecting about issues at the same time, I enjoy throwing away all the intellectualism and just enjoying and appreciating. I'm very driven by my worldview and love to have and appreciate people like-minded around me.

Interests

Reading, these days I've gotten my hand on some pretty good fiction and semi-fiction. Musashi stands out. I've also read Murakami and love his style.

I'm trying my hand at blogging. I'm sure some of the CSers would have exciting stories to tell which will make it on that blog of mine :P

I used to do some serious magic tricks before college hit me in full swing. If you hand me a pack of cards, I might show you something.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visiting the Himalayas, TWICE! I went once from the Indian side and once from the Tibetan side. Definitely one of the highlights of my life.

The other time, I got a chance to observe heart surgery. It's quite mind blowing, seeing someone alive, then put to sleep, have their heart stopped, fixed and restarted.

Countries I’ve Visited

India, Malaysia, Nepal, United States
