Vivekananda Hasanadka
Namaste

Well, not sure how you got in here. Something tells me that it was totally an accident. Feel free to hit the "back" button anytime as reading about me can get quite boring and my great (not!) sense of humor might can be injurious to health. Still reading.. all right.. let us get it done with.

Background
I was born in Mangalore city on 10th of the 10th month of the 20th Century, year 77. My dad is from a small hamlet called "Hasanadka" in the taluk of Sullia - nestled in the western fringe of Western ghats. From what I have been told, Hasanadka is derived from "halasina aDka" (Kannada: ಹಲಸಿನ ಅಡ್ಕ) which means - the place of the jack fruit trees. Even to this day, the place is abundant with jack fruit trees and the varieties are just way too many. The taste is indescribable and makes up for the effort that you need to put in to opening it. Sweet and Juicy. well well, what was I talking about now?.. yes, my dad. In my opinion, he was a man with versatile skills and too many interests.

I was brought up in Bangalore, India. Completed my under graduation from Malnad College of Engineering, Hassan and have been in the software industry for the last few years primarily with FCG for 5 years - which now has been bought by Computer Sciences Corporation. I later moved to Intel - followed by 2 years of middle-east experience with United Arab Shipping Company. When the desert heat got in to me, I decided to move closer to the north pole and landed in Copenhagen, working for Maersk Line. After 5 years, 9 months, and 9 days (trust me, I wasn't counting) and quite a few personal setbacks, I got fed-up with the flatness of the country (although Denmark is an extremely flat country, perhaps, I led a flat life more than anything else) and moved to British Columbia and currently enjoying the Mountains of "Beautiful British Columbia".

Personal Belief
So, who am I?   I am a fan of Indian philosophy, globalization and also an environmentalist - for the only selfish reason that the earth is ours and we need to preserve it and take care of it. I am not claiming to be morally incorruptible. I have failed. But I have tried to live by the philosophy of - I would rather suffer to the extent possible than agree and be the "popular guy".
