I was born in India and always fascinated by Mahatma Gandhi. Sacrificing his richness, practicing simpleness and Ahimsa teaching attracted me towards him. He has guided so many people to the right path. One quote I get motivated is: Mahatma Gandhi:   "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." I became an Environmental Scientist. I did undergrad degree in Biology, Masters in Environmental Sciences and MPhil in Environmental Sciences (Bharathiar University, India) and PhD in Environmental Sciences in Univ. of MD and MS in Computer Science (USA). I love NATURE and was always trying to protect it by research and creating awareness. One quote I get motivated by the great Naturalist John Muir: “In every walk with Nature one receives far more than he seeks.” As a young scientist I wanted to become a man of success. I wanted to earn more and more using my knowledge. Wanted to buy and live in Mansions and also...

Just wanted to deviate from my regular topics. As we approach the holidays week remembered our passions that we loved so much when we grew up. Coming from a small town we were close knit friends who I would consider more of a family than friends. From high school to Masters - during that time our main passions were Cricket, Music and Story books. Most of the discussions were about Cricket, story books we read (mostly written by great Sujatha and historic epics by great Kalki were our favorites) and music. Tamil movies music was our major topic during every gathering and would discuss about the songs for hours. Great Maestro Illayaraja started his peak ascend during these years.         Maestro Illayaraja   (Music Legend)     We loved his music and that continues until today. The thing with his music is that there is something soul touching in it. Just by listening to his song we can go back and re live those days again. We can relate e...

Environmental pollution protests have turned into war zone. Several lives were taken by the government guns in Tamil Nadu, India. Copper smelting without proper pollution control can affect both humans and environments. Have been warning about this for long time,  Sterlite Orissa article  2008 Industries flocking Tamil Nadu  2008 Environmental Justice  2010 Tamil Nadu  2017 We never learned from history  Economy is important. But along with that growth, we should consider Environment, Human health, environmental laws, compliance and sustainability. It was the worst thing that this happened - several human lives have been sacrificed for protesting the polluting industry.  What kind of greedy world we are living in. Greedy people should consider fellow human being, their health and other inhabitants, just for the profit one should not pollute and kill others. If proper environmental law, compliance, practice, pollution control, plan...

One Earth Day On this Day praying for peace on the Globe, Praying for no wars, no poverty and better environment. Lot of us still ignore pollution around us, we ignore destruction of war, we ignore deforestation happening in front of us. We ignore plastics affecting us and environment, please don't ignore these  do your part. Sometimes we cant't do anything about some issues - at that time please pray, for example - I prayed on November 29 2010  One more prayer: We dont need one more senseless war. Praying to bring peace for North and South Korea brothers and sisters. Last week felt happy both Korea are having talks in  moving forward with peace. This brings satisfaction.     we have other areas where immediate attention and thinking is needed. Now we have so many different countries in the Earth and so many levels of ups and downs are between them. What I mean is that we have most developed countries, developing countries and non developin...

It's been a while I wrote an Information technology related article: I have been in Information technology especially in data field for so many years.
