‘Non-Smokers die everyday!’
So opined Bill Hicks, the legendary US comedian. A talented guy with humorously cynical views on consumerism/religion/materialism and anything in between.

Reboot!
After an extended hiatus, when visitors were treated to the sublime ‘under construction’ notice, I have decided to reboot this site. I’m not sure why its tough to let go of this domain, given that its been stagnant for over three years…maybe vanity?

Well all of us (including yours truly) will find out soon enough. Probably a bit of all the things that interest me including online marketing, entrepreneurship, digital art (3d/2d), photography, books, politics, films etc.
