Greetings!
I'm originally from India, currently a Minneapolis-St. Paul resident. I'm a software professional by trade, with an M.S. in Software Engineering. In my spare time, I enjoy music (of all genres), am a beginning student of the guitar. I'm currently tripping to Yo-yo Ma. I also enjoy building scale models of cars, and planes (Mostly Formula 1, Le Mans, WRC and WW II aircraft). My favorite aircrafts of all time are the Supermarine Spitfire, and the F-14 Tomcat. A paradox: I'm a man of peace, and so none of my models have any armaments on them :)
I also enjoy tennis, hiking, running, rollerblading, skating, and my motorcycle when the weather permits.
Here are some of my heroes:
* My father
* Carl Sagan
* Edmund Hillary & Tenzing Norgay
* His Holiness - The Dalai Lama
* Leonardo da Vinci
* Mahatma Gandhi
* Niki Lauda
* Shri Ramana Maharishi
* Shri Shri RaviShankar (of the Art of Living organization)
* Sir Ernest Shackleton
* Swami Vivekananda
* The Divine Mother - Aurobindo Ashram
I do like to read about, listen to, and ponder a wide variety of issues. To my way of thinking, saving the whales is as important and interesting as a new technological development. Mankind has come a long way in 2 billion years, but we still have much further to go. If I were to pick one man to represent mankind, it would be Leonardo da Vinci.
Have a pleasant day, and may the world know peace!

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

| I firmly do believe that there are intelligent life forms out there. It would be too arrogant of us to think that we are the absolute first. I shall write more about this, as time goes by. |
