Im a Executive in an IT company. I have always worked in the IT industry and dont see myself anywhere else in the future. I'm a less-talking more-doing kind of a person. But when someone gets me talking I can't stop; and it takes someone interesting to get me talking! . I have a deep and overpowering interest in Classical Music. I play Hindustani music (North Indian Classical) on the Sitar. I have been learning and playing Indian Classical music on the Sitar since age 8. I have tried to never give it up even though other things have taken priority from time to time. I am an ardent fan of western composers like Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, Strauss and Brahms. I like to develope software programs as a hobby and as a freelance consultant. I try and read the best in English and Telugu (my mother tongue) literature whenever I find the time. I like to keep myself updated on world news and current affairs. I make it a point to read as much news as I can.

I wonder whether there might be a virus threat to our mobile phones, since these phones now have the capability of downloading java applications. I'm just thinking aloud here. regards, Karthik

Hi san2dee, Thanks for your comments. The Dew 'Frite' hit-back was a response to Sprite's spoof. Yes, it shows a total lack of creativity on both sides. Judging by the ad output in the media these days, I think the ad industry has gone to the dogs. regards, Karthik

Schumacher is the best there is today. He's also lucky that he drives the best car. All cars have standard electronic equipment, The F1 management ensures this. The difference in the cars are their engines. Ferrari seems to have the best currently. No car has an unfair advantage over the other; ever read more...
