Hi there

 

I'm Subodh. I'm an engineer, a father, an enthusiast, an environmentalist, a software developer, a tech evangelist and an Engineering manager at Yahoo!

 

I'm also almost an artist, almost a musician,almost a decent photographer, almost a pilot , almost a foos player and almost a human being.

 

This page is all about me and if you're looking to hire me, you just can't/might find me interested at the moment.


 I (sort of) live life on "the edge" and carry a lot of passion with me every day. I would like to think I have matured over the years and grown wiser although I must say, I know very little about life (being so young and all).

 

I'm a lifelong learner and there's never been a dearth of things, people or fancies that can interest me. Its not just the  programming languages; nay, it doesn't even have to be technology related. I love technology but that's not the only thing in my life.

People often wonder how did I do that. That doesn't make me a good player though :)
There's a beer for everyone.
Rollers coasters are passe. Want to try a full stall?
Life! What d'ya know about it!

"I once wrote something and a lot of 'em Yahoos told me it took over a whole datacenter and was crawling into people's homes. They named it something big I guess. And then another time, it ate up a whole bunch of job descriptions including mine coz it amassed so much of intelligence on its own it didn't need any humans no more. Dumb programs."

  

I''m under a constant vigil.
 
A constant pressure to perform better.

 

A yearn to succeed.
A new milestone everytime I inch closer to one.
 
She keeps coaxing me to paint my own sky everytime a storm messes up the colours of my painting.
I stumble, I fall at such times but still lunge forward to catch that innocence with which that angel smiles at me.
The angel is like a child when I need reassurance, she is a rock when I need a support.
If I achieve, its her pride that swells, if I fail, she is always there to run back to.
I don't have to perform.
I do not even have to be nice.
She is there,
irrespective of,
regardless of
what I do, or could not do.
 
Her heart is my home where I can run away from this world and forget about everything.
And just because she has taken away all my fear,
I am capable of inflicting.
I am capable of achieving.
I am capable of changing this world.
I am capable of doing anything and nothing is impossible anymore.
I am capable of helping out.
I am capable of recklessness as well.
 

Beware, for I am alive ... and kicking!
