About Me:
I am a marketer by profession.
I have changed many jobs in my career. And with each job I have changed my professional focus in a way. From the Energy sector to the IT sector to the Healthcare sector to now finally the Venture Capital Industry. Have found a wonderful company with a wonderful set of people. We are looking for ideas to fund in the digital divide, ICT and SME space. If you are interested, please leave a comment below with your email address and I shall get back to you.

I am a person who would do anything for a friend. I enjoy inspiring trust in other people and living upto those expectations!
This I have realised is an idealistic expectation that I have out of myself. I don’t always seem to live by this.

Enjoying relationships and studying the ups and downs that it goes through and making it stronger is a mission in life. For which keeping in touch is essential.
Once upon a time, there was a friend who was closer to me than myself. And today he no longer wants to keep in touch because I wrote a, rather traumatic [sic], blogpost [link] on him. That’s when I realised that my mission in life is more of a hallucination than anything else. Keeping in touch is no longer essential. I have realised that that’s (keeping in touch) just one of the things that you do if you are a true friend.

I don’t like people who don’t keep in touch. If you have a valid reason for not keeping touch then, its ok with me. Otherwise, be sure you are going to hear it from me!
Life has changed since I wrote these sentences. Just changing it now so that it reflects who I really am.

I don’t think twice before giving a piece of my mind to a person who doesn’t accept his/ her mistake. I hate people who give reasons for making mistakes. If you are wrong, admit it!
I still stand by this one. But I would like to add this: as long as people can hold on to a sensible perspective during the discussion I am party to it. Otherwise, I don’t like wasting my time hitting my head against a wall!

I hate arguments! But because of my nature I tend to get into them. But wriggle out of it succesfully too.
Offlate, arguments have been limited in whatever I am doing. I don’t know if I have become this “Mr. Right Always” or “Mr. Ego”, but the arguments counter is ticking on very slowly.

About Mysorean:

People ask me what’s with this name ‘Mysorean’ for the blog?
I owe a lot of myself to this town/ small city/ whatever you want to call it. I feel there are certain personality traits associated with being a ‘Mysorean’ and I satisfy almost all of those traits involuntarily. One of the primary traits is this: Whenever someone calls Mysore a ’sleepy town’ [or anything equivalent], a Mysorean laughs out loud, agrees with them outwardly and feels overjoyed inside that ‘ah! that’s one more person who does not understand the essence of my Mysore’. And feel happy that it is going to remain as it is forever without such dumb people.

Will this blog talk about the various tourist places or something related to Mysore?
Going by the name of the blog it is obvious that someone asks me this question. And I must have been asked this question atleast hundred times as on date. To answer the question simple and straight: NO. The blog might touch upon Mysore and other related places if I feel like it, but there is no mandate that I have defined for this blog to promote tourism in Mysore or any such noble objective.

Why are you running this blog?
This is by far the best question and trust me I have asked this myself frequently. Each time there is only one answer that comes up: ‘To express myself’. No that’s not a copy of the AirTel tagline, but that’s truly what this blog is meant for. An expression of myself. Sometimes I bare myself here, sometimes I discuss global politics, sometimes I am just silent. This blog purely reflects what is going with me in my life and in my mind. If you have any more questions for me, use the comments section and we can discuss.

Read my disclaimer because it is there.
