About

My name is Hari.  I am from a small village in Kerala called Varkala (South India).  From an very young age I knew that I cannot stay in one place for very long (I have a problem with commitment!!).  I have traveled all over the world and lived in many cities.  I enjoy meeting people and getting to know them.

The process of reading and learning is something that I absolutely cherish.  I keep an open mind which I feel is a prerequisite for gaining knowledge.  I have gained some knowledge but I know I have a long way to go.

In this blog I am documenting some of what I learnt and experienced.  Learning as most of you know is a never ending process.  I will also provide some commentary on current events.

As as writer my intention is not to provoke anger or create controversy. I like to present my views as I see it.  As Albert Einstein once said “The world we have created is a product of our thinking; it cannot be changed without changing our thinking“.  I hope that in a small way I am contributing towards this badly needed change in our thought process.
