ABOUT ME

*Who I am:
A genuine guy with plenty of strings to his bow. I'm not too repulsive, reasonably intelligent, unique (in a good and bad both ways)...
Maybe, dreamer, is that would describe me better... though I gotta say that I try to keep my feet on the ground...
I'd like to think I am caring, warm and affectionate, loyal, honest with a bit of a DARK side ;)

*What do I do?
Most of the time doing my work on my lappy or just stumbling through the net or surfing some of my favorite sites or blogs... I own a small IT firm in India as well as Melbourne

*what do I like?
Reading anything from a yellow cover tabloid ;) to Wilde and Gibran, movies and series, music in all its forms (its abt listening, haven't tried my hands on playing yet), and also love going out, staying in, just lying down and watching TV or surfing net, travelling, meeting new people and just being with those who matter most to me and sometimes doing nothing at all, dark chocolates, black coffee

I have a small IT Development Business that I have started since my return from the UK where I lived for 2 years in London (also working in IT). I graduated in mathematics and completed a masters in computer science but I actually have a great love for the arts. I am particularly interested in developing my interest and skill in photography, also reading. In addition to my time spent in the UK, I also lived in California for 1 year.
Now I have moved to Melbourne, Australia with my partner and manage the Indian company from here as well as a startup based in Melbourne

PHILOSOPHY

If you can't remove it, try to improve it.
