About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To chase the lizard out of room, not that i dont love animals, but he's growing bigger everyday!

ABOUT ME

Dabbler in all sorts of things but Master of none.
Atleast i like to amuse myself by saying Intermediate in Some :P
Someday id like to be known as a true renaissance man.
So art and music are a given, apart from that i try to convince myself that tech consulting is more science than art.
Ive been told that i'm a good listener with an attentive ear for detail.

PHILOSOPHY

Everytime you hesitate and think about "should i or shouldnt i do something" think about how short life is and especially how short youth is.
Never settle for a life of quiet desperation.
