“S-A-G-N-I-K”

My blog describes me as someone who is… “living in the shadow, but staring at the sun”

Determination is not everything. Hope is.

I love to live in hope. It might work out, it might not. Even if it does not, I wish the hope never dies.   

I have hoped for the impossible. I still do. Its a good thing to do, cos that way, the hope never dies. I like that.

Getting too preach-y, am I ?

What do I really do ?

Computer Science. Always have been. Always will be.

Does it sound cliché ?

Maybe it does. So does ‘loving your family’.

And let me add, it is possible to write software to make the world a better place.

If you happen to spot my laptop, I am somewhere around.

Bread and Butter ???

At Nokia, we try to make the phone and computer look alike.

That is all !!!

The founders of Google wanted to save every page on the World Wide Web, on the computers in their garage. I just

want to read all of it.

To read is divine…

Chance (noun) : A favorable set of circumstances

“When I take a look at my blog archives, I see a few glitches. But in them I also see a shameless arrogance which says that the next post is going to be perfect. ”

Photography has made me think. It has made me more sensitive.

I’m excited about Graduate studies.

Thrill of the unknown.

-More code. Much more.

- New people.

- Broadening the canvas of life.

Back to school

“Human Computer Interactions on the Cloud”

- Not just User Interfaces

- Cognitive Psychology

- Natural language interactions

Not really rocket science, is it ?

Sometimes I feel like doing the orthodox and doing it right. Just to kill conventions.

I hate conventions.

And the expectation to pertain to them.

Oh yes, I love donuts.

Three is usual.

Six is when I’m celebrating.
