So my intent is to talk about myself, which I may not be able to summarize concisely - I have been changing all through these 25 years. Anyway, will try...

- Favourite things in the universe

- Philosophy
- Humour
- Languages - Human and Computer

- Computers and the Human Brain
- Space
- Physics - the philosophical side
Born in Kanyakumari, the place where the Bay of Bengal meets the Arabian Sea, I grew up mainly in Coimbatore - mid-sized city, quieter than Bangalore by miles - Bangalore used to be very similar to it sometime back. Bangalore is where I reside now.
I am one among billion+ Indians, one among millions of software engineers in the world, have Tamil for my mother-tongue, though I generally love some other languages also. Love and curiosity for languages is one of my earliest interests, right from the day I started with "SuklAmbaradharam Vishnum", in Sanskrit, a language that I didn't understand, and only now am coming to terms with. Never knew what SuklAmbaradharam meant back then...Probably the interest goes back further, to my initiation into studies, when, as a child of two or three, I was made to write Tamil alphabets on the surface of rice in a big vessel, an age-old custom.
I am a man who always cherishes things that are old, like tradition and culture. I don't often see myself appreciating contemporary things, don't know why...I love music, my foremost passion, though I have not proceeded to become well-trained in any genre - its been a to-do thing for a long time. I also like reading, but normally dont read fiction - have only read Harry Potter Book 1, and not gone ahead - "what a shame!!!!", everybody seems to be saying...
I love computers, and technology, but I always take technology cautiously. I got my first cellphone when I was 23 - after almost every teenager in India had one, and I was forced by my family to buy one. I am a C++ programmer at heart, and know some other languages too.
My plan for this blog of mine is to write up regarding anything I feel I should share with other netizens. Topics may include but not necessarily be limited to India, culture, politics, arts, my view of the world, my favourite gripes...

Being your bro, even i knew little abt. ur philosophical side. Would definitely talk abt. philosophy with you some day. By the way, what would you say to me who has bought mobile at the age of 29 years. I am impressed with your blog anyway. Great going dear.
