Welcome to Manish's corner. If you like it, I'm obliged. If you leave it, I'm surprised ;) Just kidding. Either way, do visit the Mailroom on your way out.

about me...

I enjoy reading and discussing South Asian American literature & issues. I also love salsa, bhangra and Hindi music, and designing great software. I shuttle like a nomad between New York, San Francisco and sometimes London. Check out my latest babies...
I used to work at Microsoft designing Word and PowerPoint. As a writer and speaker it tickles me to have crafted the same tools I use daily. No better way to learn them then work there ;) I studied Electrical Engineering & Computer Science at UC Berkeley.

Well, here's why [the Internet's] not happening. I think the problem is cultural and not economic. For starters, this environment was created by a bunch of white guys who can't dance. And it is congenial largely to white guys who can't dance. The biggest problem I have with the Internet is there's not enough Africa in it.
