My Profile

I began my computer programming journey by setting my foot on a perfect stepping stone. It was Qbasic language and its simplicity made sure the move was not a slippery-start.

If Qbasic provided me with the impetus for the challenging task of programming, Visual basic, the successor to Qbasic, became the driving force that kept up the momentum.

Mesmerized by the spectacle brought about by a few lines of code, I extended my ambition across a wide area in the field. My enthusiasm in an equally fantastic subject, mathematics, did really help me to experiment with a combination of two equals in the realm of inspiration.

Academically, I hold a degree in mathematics combined with physics and biology. Professionally, I am a solution developer for Microsoft's.Net platform.

To complement my work, both academic and professional, I have adopted a range of activities. I am a fitness enthusiast who loves walking and jogging; I play guitar and write articles to online newspapers and make contributions to blogs of my special choice.

I am keen on exploring the spiritual aspect of life as well, especially the phenomenon of intuition.

My penchant for reading has made me metaphorically devouring the books written by Ralph Waldo Emerson, the American author, who wrote volumes of book, nearly two hundred years ago. I am particularly impressed by one of his essays,  Compensation. I love to stay closer to one of its maxims, both at work and in normal life, "Every excess causes a defect and every defect is caused by an excess." I see how this principle being violated around me in the wider world and the corresponding price paid in consequence.

I love cricket and may watch a football match if it has a nail-biting end. As I have no allegiance to a particular club, I can watch the game in a true spirit, without harming my adrenalin balance. I enjoy not only the game but also the behavioural fluctuations of those who watch it as well, especially, the spectacle of sworn-atheists praying to the Almighty for the desired outcome - as a last resort of course.

I love to promote the teaching of the subjects that I always enjoy. This site is a product of my hard work for six months; the pages are fully hand-coded using Microsoft's humble Notepad. They are made in line with the guidelines set out my W3C, the internet governing body.

Use the site and enjoy learning. It is your best compliment to me.

Thank you for coming this far.
