As I tread the Globe....

"केल्याने देशाटन, येतसे शहाणपण..." (Travelling makes a man wiser - Marathi proverb)
I am a traveller, set onto the journey of life. I like to watch people and machines, know them, see their life, see how they think and what they experience.
This is not a travelog. It is random, philosophical, technical - like I am at times :) This blog is my space to note down my memories, feelings, experiments and experiences that I accumulate, as I tread the Globe...
