About Me

Yet another human being of the breed who belives in working hard and partying harder! A computer scientist by profession and a traveller by obession, I sometime wonder if I was just born to chill. Born and brought up in Mumbai, spent most of my youth studing, working in the United States and travelling elsewhere. Like others, I love music, sports, parties and ofcourse different kinda ethnic foods. Meeting new people and expanding your knowledge horizons interests me.By now, I guess you must have a very good idea that I suck at writing about myself. So Be It.. You can gimme a buzz if you like at shail2alabama@aol or shail_in_alabama@yahoo...
