I discovered silklist while exploring a recent book "Return to India" by Shoba Narayan. Thankyou Udhay. I like to read non-fiction books, especially biographies and memoirs; and content with constructivist themes. Some of the book-reviews I have written can be found on my blog[1].
With my background in engineering, I love ideating and building things. I have built some electronic product prototypes (speedometer for my bicycle and consumer electronics akin to a home media server). Currently, I am researching some deeper aspects in this field at iit bombay. Did I mention cycling? While in Bangalore, I took up cycling to commute to my workplace and recreational long-distance rides. Did a four-day self-supported cycling tour in Western Ghats. I continue to do 100km rides with biking groups in Mumbai. For cross-training, I tried running distances, but rather enjoyed organizing a running event[2]. Social discovery and communicating with people around have recently grabbed my time spent on internet. I have conceived of a mobile application that finds and lets you interact with people around you wherever you go. With booming support for startups now-a-days, I hope to take a dive in taking ideas to market. Sharing my learnings takes me to students and teachers. I like to volunteer some time for doing activity-based-learning workshops/projects in schools. More about my pursuits: www.deepakmalani.in Hope to participate in conversations with you all.
