Welcome to my sandbox :)
Here I try to get my hands dirty with various web programming technologies and buzzwords. Things I do may seem trivial or monolithic to seasoned web developers but my philosophy to remain upbeat is that a journey of a thousand miles starts with one step. With that in mind, I am trying to learn how to write clean and easy-to-maintain websites, web applications and widgets where functionality and standards are given importance over cosmetics. Ideally, I want to attain a level where any website or app I write comes across as elegant and reliable.
About me
Since this is my personal website, I will take the opportunity to yack a bit about myself... I was born and raised in Kolkata (Calcutta), India and immigrated to Canada in Y2K.
I did my bachelor's degree from McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario.
By profession I am an engineer and develop software for living and leisure. It's going to sound like a cliché... I dig muscle cars,
gadgets, nature travel, road trips, little bit of photography and I watch Simpsons regularly.

| I have been an ovo-lacto vegetarian for about a year now (with a few exceptions when I was in India last fall). I am not against eating meat (or maybe I am, I don't know) but I am strongly opposed to factory farming. If you are not the faint of heart, I insist that you watch this gruesome video of animal abuse in our industrialized societies. |
