Hello -

Thanks for visiting my stream and profile. I appreciate it.
I am a Mumbai person - always been in Mumbai and loved it so far!!

I have always been playing with photography since childhood as my dad is a photographer and dark room technician. He is also my guru in photography and post processing.

I started doing some photography when I was in high school with my first camera "Kodak Kroma". I loved it but the real push came with my first digital camera. It was a 3MP Olympus P&S on which I learned finer aspects of photography.

I currently use a Canon 350D DSLR and absolutely love it!!!!!! Recently got a Sony Erriscon K810i camera phone after my trusted old Nokia broke.

Grown up using Microsoft Windows but recently moved to Ubuntu Linux 8.04LTS. I am liking it so far and use GIMP and UFRaw for my work.

Lately I saw some of pictures taken by me that were blogged. I thank all the bloggers for giving me credit for the photo in your blogs. I will appreciate if you can drop me a mail when you do choose to use one of my photos. It is always nice to see when my pictures inspire people to write articles and poems!!!

I am not yet into selling my pictures, but in case you need a print on paper or canvas of any of my pictures, feel free to reach out to me for pricing discussions.

On professional side, I am a Management Consulting professional specializing in Quality Control and Quality Management & Advisory related work.

Thanks again and have a good day!!!
