About

Welcome to my blog!

You can simply call me ‘Prem’.

I have been 21 ever since 2001! I am married and have a beautiful daughter. I don’t know if there’s anything worthwhile about me to discuss. But if you insist, read on!


I work in an industry that deals with ‘data’, huge volumes of it! My work is to help businesses make sense out of ‘data’ and hence to assist in driving key business ‘decisions’. (Data –> Information –> Decision). In short, I work on Business Intelligence, data warehousing and databases. Therein lies one of my passions! (My resume is available here.)

My interests don’t stop there. For good or bad, I am a person of varied interests. The most prominent ones are : cycling, photography, bird watching, trekking, wild life, travelling, collecting coins, music, reading books, blogging, watching plays @ Rangashankara, playing cricket, table tennis, etc. And of course, personal finance! My interests keep changing with time too.

I used to be a restless and ambitious guy with a million thoughts. Of late, I have slowed down and have taken time to enjoy my life.

I grew up in Nilgiris (Ooty) and I guess that is where my love of nature, cycling, etc come from. I come from a middle class farmer family that has deviated from agriculture in the last 2 generations and I always dream of reversing the trend.

My first role model in life is my father, though I will never admit to it in front of him. He shaped me up in many ways… kindling the inquisitive spirit in me, developing the love of books in me by buying me Amar Chitra Katha comics and giving me money to buy Sir Arthur Conan Doyle novels, taking me out in the night to gaze at the stars and wonder at the jewels in the sky, taking me to war movies like “The lion of the desert” and explaining who Mussolini was, teaching me how to play chess,… I can go on.

This blog is a place where I express my thoughts on anything under the sun! I don’t know why I blog.. I am no great blogger. And I do not have any agenda for this blog, except maybe improving my on-line presence. I am not behind the top 100 list or 10,000 visitors per month. I just want to write… Also I would love to connect with people. I would love to network with people having similar interests.
