Hi!

If you had to describe me one word, it would be ‘entrepreneur’. I make the best out of situations after all we cannot control what hands we are dealt, only how we choose to play them.

My passion is in sustainable businesses. I’ve previously worked in businesses in the microfinance, web, consulting and renewable energy research. I make it a point to explore as many interesting sectors as possible because I’m working on starting my own business and I think the best sustainable solutions are cross-sectorial. Also I enjoy drifting around and exploring things I find interesting.

Although I am lazy to write, I enjoy writing essays sometimes. I post most of the good ones on this blog. I also enjoy humor and one day I hope to try doing standup comedy at least once. Still working on my material for that.

This blog is a personal one where I write infrequently my observations on our amazingly entertaining Indian society, random musings on my life, and occasionally boring sustainable and social entrepreneurship stuff.

Although I am not a fan of my university management with its numerous failings in treating us fairly and preserving our freedom, its the students who make Pilani what it is. I’ve been lucky to have studied in Pilani and lived with some of the smartest and interesting people of my generation. The foolishness of having a dozen IITs and admitting meritorially inferior students (in the guise of reservations) has created the perfect opportunity for Pilani to have the largest congregation of smart and talented people in any engineering college in the country.  And of course we are much more fun.

My favorite quotations:

“Men are not prisoners of fate, but only prisoners of their own minds.” – Franklin D. Roosevelt

Whether you think you can or think you can’t, you are right. -Henry Ford

We should be too big to take offense and too noble to give it. -Abraham Lincoln

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
- Mark Twain

“Smile, tomorrow’s going to be worse.”

“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”
- Robert A. Heinlein

Have a great life!
