The BBC gives a silver bowl with this Tree of 
Knowledge engraved on it for the winners of the Mastermind India.		 No clichéd "Who am I?", for I am already. I just have to know that I am. You and I re-affirm this fact by breathing, for Soham means I am Him. Adi Sankaracharya says that this is the essence of all knowledge.

I wish I were using an Open source tool to publish this page!! But since I dont have a Linux machine having an IP, I still have to rely on Evil Empire's PageFront™. But I do have to admit that I am impressed with the Verdana typeface they provide.

Read Eric S. Raymond's "The Cathedral and the Bazaar" ? Eric tries to prove that the open source (or Bazaar) model works in his book. He uses Linux and Fetchmail to support his case.

If Eric were to revise his essay now, he would cite Wikipedia too. Wikipedia has been a miracle in terms of the quality and quantity of the content it provides in the given short span of time. It also suggests another vital point that Bazaar model could work anywhere.

Google Rank for Wikipedia has been constantly on the rise (Currently 8/10) !!

I spent 4 years in a desert oasis called Pilani for a Bachelors in Computer Science and a Masters in Mathematics. Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani used to have a healthy mix of people across the length and breadth of India. But, Pilani probably now has the highest Telugu density outside Andhra Pradesh.
I am a Usability Analyst by profession. I have been successfully delivering high productivity UI designs from Sept 2003. My users have typically belonged to Financial services or Healthcare sectors. I also worked on a product used by Statisticians.

I would like to work on products that boost programmer productivity too.


The old rotary phone forces the user to wait till it gets unwound. It was designed to be close to the internal mechanism and not to the user. So are the majority of today's programmers. Today's Software products belong to the rotary age of phones.
