Fireworks on Marine Drive for Maharashtra Day
Not a big fan of fireworks (pollution) and laser shows (waste of electricity), but thought I'd put this up to show how the Marine Drive sky-line lite up last night.

Prestige
I love web apps, everything Apple, post-work martinis, good seafood, dark chocolate, coffee, Mumbai city and living well.
I am the founder of DeskAway, a simple yet powerful web-based work tracking tool. DeskAway is ranked in the top 30 hottest startups in India by TataNEN.
Things have worked out kinda well, for instance...recently, I have been named a Paragon 100 Fellow (Asia’s most inspiring young entrepreneurs and social change makers), shortlisted in BusinessWorld's Top 30 Young Entrepreneurs in India, featured on the cover of India Today Aspire (The Young Guns), showcased on CNBC's prestigious TV show 'Young Turk Innovators' and interviewed in VentureBeat and NYTimes by a prominent Silicon Valley journalist.
I am currently working on a book on Web 2.0 & SaaS to be published in late 2010.
I often reminisce about the best 7.5 years spent in Chapel Hill, NC.
When not in front of the computer, I spend my time reading, writing, playing golf, tennis (am a Federer fan), doing yoga thrice a week, and traveling to distant places (love Mykonos and the rest of the Med. coast) with my wife and family.
I believe in doing what you enjoy even if it is different and doesn't pay you well in the beginning. Setting off on your path is more important than following the herd. It is extremely important to be happy at the end of each day.
This is an updated stream of my work+life activities of a life in progress.

Good break from city-life, even though DeskAway HQ is only 5 minutes away from here. When you are in "play-mode" your work seems so much more meaningful and you realize what you are working towards. Work hard, play harder. Take a step back once in a while.

Great event! Check out the speakers here - http://tedxmumbai.com/speakers/
My favorite was Dr. V Raghunathan who intelligently explained why Indians are Privately Smart, Publicly Dumb.

Kala Ghoda Arts Festival in Pictures
Kala Ghoda, is an area in South Mumbai with gorgeous Victorian style buildings and heritage structures. DeskAway HQ is a stones throw away.
Kala Ghoda Arts Festival is an annual festival, usually around nine days long, held in late January or early February. From its inception in 1999, the Festival has grown in stature and popularity, attracting visitors and participants from other parts of the country, and the world. The Festival is organised by the Kala Ghoda Association (a non-profit organisation that states its objectives as "physically upgrading the Kala Ghoda sub-precinct and making it the Art District of Mumbai") and curated by teams handling each of the sub-festivals.
