Introducing the wannabe poet

I want to write a poem every week and post it here. This blog owes it's existence to Devang my roommate, who thought I should write more often.

I am a 25 year old Hardware Engineer, a cog in the wheel of a prominent Silicon-Valley firm making computer chips. I used to think that I could write poems only when I am inspired, more often than not by a pretty girl. I've only written about 5 poems so far, so I haven't been prolific by any standards. But I am trying to convince myself of the old adage, "Where there's a will there's a way", and hence this blog.

I grew up in Pune, India (about 100 miles from Bombay) and spent 22 years of my life there. I earned a Master's degree in Electrical Engineering from UW-Madison last year. And for the last year, I've been toiling those hours at making computer chips during the week. I also maintain another blog called Ain't No Mountain High Enough.
