I’m Dinakaran , yet an another hopeless software engineer with roots in Tirunelveli. Currently living in chennai .
Things you may not know about ME :
You don’t find any of the normal hang over’s of a typical SE in me
1. I don’t carry a pretty ,jazzy , twerty based digital phone . All I have is my mom’s 1110. Believe me , It has really good features than any other mobile. Even when I have my office phone , I don’t dial in my colleagues through it but through my personal mobile . Heights of Laziness . Changing my Hello Tune very often is one of the hobbies . Magnamity at it’s best , for who ever call me , will listen to some really happening song .I have developed this hobby of not picking it up for some 30 secs to help people relish one of the good elixir of Life.
2. Blame my poor financial mgmt , I hate the Reebok , Nike , Adidas clans . I don’t find any difference in comfort on using BATA Action which cost XXX.95 only .So am i here to suggest Baabool tooth paste instead of Colaget, oh really not .But i dont find them to be signatory item and never assume it as a status quo.
3.A perfect NO-NO to H1B Visa . I find life here pretty interesting.I’m not a wannabe westerner.I love visiting places and would look forward to having a good time over there , but can’t be there for a living. A two week holiday trip should be perfectly fine.
4.Movies and Music are my heart and soul . I simply can’t live with out them . I aspire to become a director one day.I listen to all kinds of music from melody to rock to jazz to western to pop to kuttu item songs in tamil , telugu , malayalam , hindi and english bu I know only Tamil and English a bit. But you may think I always carry a 30 GB Ipod and always have my ear pieces plugged and give that uber cool look shaking my legs on the move , sorry i’m not that kind. I always love listening to music in loud speakers even if it meant to be at office . My family literally have their ear buds on their ears when I watch TV in my Onida Oxygen Thunder at home.
5.I always carry a secondary school type double sided bag to office and to literally all places i roam.Of late , reading is my latest pro-found passion . I read anything and everything and make sure my bag always has atleast one book to be read.I derive happiness and sleep out of reading it .Many times , it helps me to sleep. It’s only very recently i found that , when i do uninteresting things , i tend to fall asleep soon.So all you people out here , try it out . If you dont get enough and the moment you come to bed sleep , always carry that uninteresting book with you , believe me , it can do the magic . Period though.
6.And this one for sure cannot be missed . I’m an absolute nocturnal.Even on a bright sunny morning , I feel like sleepy and i experience literally every day morning blues . My hyper activity period is anything after 5 in the evening.
7. I feel pretty uncomfortable to be in spot light and always like to a maintain low-profile.
8. I like reading the horoscope every day . That too from the ERGO supplement of Indian Express.Verses from Ganesha.com – predictor of Sun Signs make my day exactly .
9.I’m a DAY DREAMER . There isn’t a single field in this world where in I haven’t become the numero UNO in my dreams . Easily gets inspired by others but the instinct dies away so soon , can’t help.
Enough of me .

I would like to add few more words about you.
“DINA” who can easily touch the person in a unique way by his words like no one else could.
superb sir..very honest comments..but i beg to differ from your 7th point…as per my opinion u dont maintain a low profile and u always want to be in the spot light..this is my opinion…remember “just my opinion”…i might be wrong..otherwise its a super intorduction about yourself..i loved it very much..especially the comments about shoes, mobile and ipod..when i was about to meet u in bangalore i was expecting N-sereis mobile in your hands or a costly sony erricson mobilewith 5 mp camera or something like that …but i was very shocked to see a 1110 mobile in your hands..honestly i never expected this…i had the same 1110 mobile before getting the job and after joining the cmapany i had the same mobile for 9 to 10 months…but my parents and relatives kept on forcing me to change the mobile becuase they openly said that its embaraasing for them to see that mobile in my hands..they said this because i was getting a decent pay..their thought was “an individual’s salary should reflect on his moblie’s quality”…another reason was my cousins were having costly mobiles eventhough they r still studying in the college…(but they said all this in a funny manner..not to insult me)…so finally i thought “enough is enough” and bought a new mobile with 1.3 mp camera for 5000 rs…but i am with u…i always like simple things and dont go for cosltly things..be it shoes, mobile or anything..but i just wonder nobody had forced u or pleaded with u to change your mobile…i am still having this doubt…i thought of asking u in bangalore but somehow i forgot….
But still i would say that “1100 is the best mobile” very user friendly..so keep it with u as long as u can…still i love that mobile..my mom is having that mobile now..
anyways its a good post and i thought of replying…its a long reply…so dont scold me…
