So its been 11 days since I got back from my vacation. Or maybe 12. And still, not a single thread of energy diving my bells.

About

I’m a 2 legged heterosexual in search of the impalpable. The zodiac sign attributes me to being a Scorpio, the earth leased me 28 yrs of it’s spinning life so far. I don’t believe in the pseudo identity generated by the country, community, region & clan that I belong to, but I do believe culture and origins are important. So is Your IDentity. My evolution hitting the hard road of life has been living, traveling and growing up in various parts of India, with a 5 yr stint in the Middle East, shuffling between Hyderabad & Bangalore for my high school and undergrads, until I started to explore UK and the US since 2003. I now live in Cambridge, MA, working as a Programmer/Consultant in the Boston area. When I’m not writing _code_, I find my solace in writing, photography, backpacking, world music and independent cinema. As a converted vegetarian, I find it hard to accept the ironies of the meat eating world.
