I am an average individual blessed with an above average inclination towards technology and its applications, particularly when it comes to programming and software design.

I am of the firm belief that technology can be harnessed in amazing ways to solve a lot of otherwise hard problems and add immeasurably to the quality of our lives. I see countless opportunities for computers to take over repetitive tasks currently performed by humans, thereby relieving human intelligence to solve more meaningful and abstract problems.

A perfectionist streak runs through me and I always strive to derive maximum returns from intelligently distributed effort. It is this shade in my persona that causes me to vehemently denounce neo-luddites (people or organizations that resist technological advances). It is certainly a shame that individuals exist who oppose positive social change (of which technological advances are a facet) simply because they perceive it as a threat to their idyllic, albeit obviously inefficient, existence. It is seen, at least in countries like India, that the said individuals reject all reasoning, not matter how logically sound, and sometimes even resort to violence to maintain the hopeless status quo. There is no easy solution to this but I want to do what I can to be part of the solution.

Cars loaded with technology are a big draw for me, and I love deducing and conceptualizing the nature of the algorithms used to control the safety and luxury mechanicals. I admire the overall design and performance of the following cars: Honda Civic, Audi A4, BMW 5 series, Mercedes Benz S-class and Audi R8.

I believe in living life with integrity, in respecting others & their property, standing up for those who cannot care for themselves, and, generally trying to be the change I want to see in this world. Today I may not have the power, influence or money to make the big difference I want to; but one day I will. I will play my small little part in the meanwhile and I encourage all of you to do the same.
