Raamesh Gowri Raghavan I,
Bloated ego, single eye,
Fly, human or gamergate,
In their genes I read their fate!

Was for seven years, an aspirant scientist. Now, an aspirant linguist and writer with a day job in advertising.
All that's left of the scientist is to see eveything through the prism of evolution, which is a very interesting viewpoint.
Towards becoming a linguist, I have been learning a number of languages (see below), and have also published a little article.
As an aspirant writer, I write short stories, essays, poems and other stuff. Some of my stuff can be found with critiques, on the writers website Caferati (Members only), and my general and poetry blogs. Here's a story and an experimental poem that I wrote.
I am also interested in science education and music.

I am Homo sapiens sapiens by species, and Indo-Dravidian by race. My ancestors migrated to India from Africa nearly 50,000 years ago. I belong to Mitochondrial haplogroup 'M', and blood group AB+.

I am originally from the South of India, though I was born in Mumbai, India.
