The Null Set.

I grew up in an Old Delhi house, that had a window overlooking the 350 year old Red Fort. Most of our "house" was a printing press operated by my parents, which is now gone, but it left bit of a binder and librarian in me. My parents gave me a Greek education, so I learnt Music, Sports, Math and Philosophy. I also picked up a strong sense of wanderlust along the way, and spent a lot of time roaming around the Western Himalayas, and many parts of the civilized world. I "met" my first computer in 1989 and developed a passion for computing that grows stronger all the time. These days, I live in a funky SOMA loft in San Francisco, write code for living, participate in the SF night life and play easy concertos on the violin.

Candy girls and party friends.
