I hail from Thrissur, a small town in Kerala. Currently I work as a Technical Lead in Samsung India Software Operations. I did my B.Tech and M. Tech (dual degree) in Electrical Engg. and Communication Systems from IIT Madras. I am a Linux enthusiast with fair amount of interest in both kernel and system programming. My hobbies include reading (mostly Malayalam short stories, travelogues and literature reviews) and writing (short stories and essays). Though I was very active in debates earlier, currently, I must admit that I no longer participate in such activities. Recently I have developed interesting in photography.
