About Me

Been in the media industry for round about 7 years; am currently engaged as Associate Editor with 9.9 Media, publishers of magazines like Digit, The CTO Forum, etc. In the past, I have been associated with Dataquest Magazine as a Senior Assistant Editor.  Have been intricately associated with both the print and the web; in fact I started out my writing career during the halcyon dotcom days, working for an entertainment portal.

Over the years, I ventured into mainstream media, working for newspapers like Free Press Journal and Financial Express, before I landed here. I used to be an avid reader but nowadays I am unable to find sufficient time to read. But yet, I somehow manage to squeeze time out for Chandamama, Tinkle (both children magazines) and Readers Digest. I also try and read Busybee (busybeeforever.com) whenever I can, because there could be a columnist like him or a column like Round and about.

Am much fond of Indian Classical Music, and a big fan of Pandit Bhimsen Joshi. I love travelling as well, though I haven’t explored as much as I would have liked. Have a great interest in History, and keep talking about so many “if onlys”. Economics comes next to History, (sounds kind off Marxian) and strongly feel that 90% of all problems that grip us, are more economic in nature than anything else.

Am also very passionate about environment, and strongly feel that we need to be conscious about our actions and their repercussions. I also run a blog on green issues pertaining to technology and IT, namely http://www.greenitindia.com

    plz visit the above web and update your comments for the public interest. I heard a lot of adverse stories about Mr.Nair. Your reply must open the ears and eyes of the UPA Gov., for re-examining the integrity of all CEO’s of our country including Mr.Nair, ISRO for the national interest.
