Akshar Raaj
Hyderabad, India.
I live in Hyderabad, the land of Baigan.
I code for fun and profit. Python is my language of choice.
How many people get to do what they love and get paid for it? 2%? 5%? I do. I love writing code and get paid for it. Fortunate me!
I work at Agiliq. It's a fun place to be at, I get to work with really smart people.
I frequently blog about Web technologies. My posts have been read over 100K times. Its immensely satisfying to see other people read what you wrote.
I like reading, I love fantasy. My favourite book(s) is Harry Potter series. A Game of Thrones is amazing, am currently reading A Clash of Kings. I loved Woodehouse's Jeeves books.
I feel highly motivated after midnight, when I should be sleeping.
My heroes are Shabda, Rahul Dravid and Atticus Finch.
Time put in attending classes was wasted time. I wish I had spent it on Web instead.
I still get exam nighmares. Shit scared of dogs.
I have immensely benefitted from Internet and it helps me earn my livelihood. I feel it is an equalizer. It would be great if everybody has access to it.
When not writing or reading, I play table tennis. Friends and Sienfeld were great. Matthew Perry is an amazing actor.
Some quotes which influenced me
* Extraordinary effort by ordinary people beat ordinary effort by extraordinary people 100% of the time.
* Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.
* Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.
* Life runs on code. (I am not a Microsoft fan)
I learn something new everyday. And run everyday too.
