…jo gumshuda-sa khwaab tha
voh mil gaya voh khil gaya
who loha thaa pighal gaya

About Author & Journal

Two things that define me: Dilettante & Self-taught. I've dabbled in more number of things than I can probably handle: technology, software, consulting, photography, filmmaking, travel, writing, philosophy and ton of other things too trivial to name. This journal is a personal repository of my opinions, reviews and musings on all things I care about. Or don't.

I also author and maintain Hindsightview.com
