I am 26 and engaged to Sangeetha.

By profession, I am a CPU Engineer. I work for a company called ARM.

Six years back, while still in college, a bunch of five of us friends started a social welfare organisation called DIYA, which is going strong till today. Diya is now an NGO, registered with the Government of India. I have designed the Diya website too.

I love travel and photography. I have been shooting with a Point-and-shoot until recently. Now I own a Nikon D80 DSLR. Check out some of my photos. I still have got a long way to go.

I like having a beard. I have had it for the past 5 years.

I studied in St.Joseph’s College in Chennai, known for its strictest of the strict rules, run by Jeppiaar, famous for his English. Sample here.

I generally speak very less.

I am right brained, but I earn my bread being a techie. I do some Photoshop designs, as well as Web designs. I am also good in sketching, but hate Maths.

I occasionally perform on stage – miming, acting, monoact, humor, variety…

I have been blogging since 2005, mainly in Tamil. Now I mostly blog in English for the benefit of a larger arc of readers.

I am not good in any sports. I watch cricket and tennis.

Traveling is my passion. Seeing the world is my dream.

I like to celebrate every day of life and live for the moment.

I am a Chennai-guy with roots in Karnataka.

I love food. I like to eat it, as well as prepare it. Mughalai cuisine is my favorite.

I listen to melodies from old Tamil movies.

My job brought me to Bangalore in 2007. Since then, I have loved this city very much. Lalbagh, Cubbon Park, Halasur Lake, Nandi Hills, BMTC, Chow chow bath, Chaat, Climate, and hot chicks are some things I love about Bangalore – absent in Chennai.

Thinking about Chennai, Marina, Elliot’s, Saravana Bhavan, Globus, Ranganathan Street, Music Academy, Roadside samosas, Spencer’s, Tea-kadais, ECR, and Mahabalipuram are some things I love about Chennai – absent in Bangalore.
