Welcome to Nayak Giri

One more succumbed to blogging craze.
what brought me here; Love to express myself, a desire to ger heard, attempt to make changes around me (ofcourse positive) and care for all. Maybe combination of all and add to that an inherant selfish ego to be felt as leader.... (i subscribe to ayn rand school of thoughts so feel no shame in admitting that motives are internally driven always and selflessness does not exist)
To dwelve upon genesis of nayakgiri, we have to turn clock around by say 18 year: circa 1990.
I was a school boy who had just found a knack to score good at exams, was always a non performer at school , always eclipsed by an apple of eye sibling, had found nationalism as a new found confidence to beat the world. Ramjanmabhoomi was at its peak, cricket nationalism, muddled politics after 89 elections.. And one day there was a talk on Nostradamus predictions of great indian era lead by so call chiron.. I felt that i was chiron (so kiddish.. still i am sometimes)
I wanted to be a leader of masses... 18 years later, after an ego boosting IIT experience, a roller coaster ride in business definitely as a good leader i can rate and attempts to be part of IT story, and a brief sojourn in social causes, here i am back with a new optimism...
In IIT i was nick named as nayak (north indian pronounciation of my marathi surname Naik)
some used to call me khalnayak...
So thus the name: nayakgiri..
lets see how it goes from here... Picture ab shuru huan hain mere dost..
Also to be noted is auspicious eve of ganesh chaturthi when traditionally we get lord ganesh idol home.. Though not a believer, these notions feel good. Human weakness maybe but it helps to identify with notions, give lot of confidence...
