A Delhi, army-kid education, the genteel idealistic seventies (plus-minus) and a professional Architecture degree, marriages, kids (three) and friends that go back decades were my assorted teachers. Relationships (+?+), Reading (anything plus Russell, Rand and Richard Bach my three rrr's), travel, amateur astronomy, music (all kinds), The Net and technology at the edges .... my interests. In essence I am but an empathising observer and sometimes....a participant willing and otherwise. It is 'life' that provides me with fresh insights, rehashed ones and the panorama of 'detail'. Intrinsic in it are its 'true' depth and structure which I attempt to reflect. My conveyence-expousing-expression of the same is as everything else subject to Godels limits.,, and mine the day I stop 'learning'.
