About Me

This is my first post in any blog ever. I am an electronics engineer turned ...... . "Software Engineer". I hold bachelors degree from Sreenidhi institute of science and technology and Masters from University of Southern California Los Angeles. Currently working @ Sun Microsystems Santa Clara as Member of Technical staff. I like sketching potraits (strangely i use pen rather than pencil for sketching, so the shading usually doesn't turn out as good as they are supposed to be). I youtube a lot !! mainly for listening to Ilayaraja's songs, BGM's , MS Subbulakshmi amma's carnatic songs. I have inquisitive attitude, seek to be spiritual, on religious front I started to scratch the surface of Vedanta(the philosophical conclusions of Vedas). One of the verses form Baghavad Gita and its synopsis I seek to live with is

bhumir apo nalo vayuh kham mano buddhir eva ca, ahankara itiyam me bhinna prakrtir astadha

"Earth, water, fire, air, ether, mind, intelligence, and material ego, these eight elements constitute my separated material energy." These material elements, five gross and three subtle, cover our soul. Corresponding with the gross material elements are the senses and sense organs: earth-smelling (nose); water-tasting (tongue); fire-seeing (eyes); air-touching (skin); and ether-hearing (ears). These five senses make up our physical dimension, while mind, intelligence, and material ego make up our psychic dimension. Under all of this we reside, like a diamond in the rough. Although our consciousness is covered by a mountain of material misconception causing us to identify ourselves with our body and mind, its potential to shine remains undiminished.
