My interests are highly varied & I live for anything that seems challenging.

 

Programming - I love C++ programming & occasionally experiment with x86 assembly. Currently engrossed with Windows system programming ... the fun never stops ! 

In my spare time I'm working on an ATL based Messaging application using windows sockets, intended to help teams communicate seamlessly in real time across corporate locations.

Microsoft Visual C++ Mailing List - I've learnt a lot from & have also contributed to the MSVC List, my favorite hang out. If your' into C++, ATL, COM, Windows Systems, MFC, C++ Database programming, subscribe & challenge yourself by helping fellow programmers with their programming problems. Its also a great way of keeping up with the legions of MSVC greats !

System Design - From helping friends wanting to do their "own thing" ~something like a no-charge consultant :-) ~ to designing 3-tier scalable architectures for TIL, this leverages my programming expertise perfectly !

Design Methodologies - A staunch OOP & OOAD follower, I see objects in every life situation :-) . 

Music - I would probably be a Musician if  I wasn't an Engineer.

From Mozart to Megadeth, Peter Tchaiskovsky to Pantera, Giuseppe  Verdi to Guns n' Roses... :-)

Latino, Rock, Rave, Trance, Western Classical, Goa, sounds from the 50's & 60's - I relate to 'em all with amazing passion. 

Music, like good software, is immortal - Lionel J. Lobo

Business - A strange interest for a techie ? Oh no, I dream of starting my own venture ... that day will come. Hence the interest in International Finance & Money Markets, ADR's, GDR's, Taxation, favorable markets for entrepreneurs.

Trekking - The ideal escape from the city traffic jams & crowds. A comfy pair of shoes, backpack & off we go to discover new destinations !

Photography - From clicking pics with my snazzy Kodak KE-60, to mastering my dads German made fully manual Exakta VX-1000, I've a long way to go here.

Reading - I'm a voracious reader devouring books & learning in the process. My latest passion ? Design Patterns.

Computer Hardware - Partly education & mainly techno-enthusiasm has driven me to the very innards of computers, the sole motivation being to know "what's goin' on under the hood" & optimizing these amazing machines. DMA, IRQ conflicts, Swap files, File System's, Partitioning, Motherboards, Graphics cards, CPU's, Display & Disk Drive technologies... starting from the humble Intel 8080.

Electronics - A qualified Electronics Engineer, I'm an electronics enthusiast. I've built an AM Radio, an AM/FM radio transmitter, cool sounding oscillators, amplifiers, sadly I dont get time for that now :-( I also love tinkering with Audio/ Video systems & wound up repairing my JVC VCR when it conked off, an STK5481 Power Regulator did the trick. :-)

Technology - If its not too obvious, Computers, Handheld & Wearable gizmos, amazing software with far-reaching applications, I'm a hardcore techie.
