About

The word sukshma (सूक्ष्म) was originally discovered in an Oxford Hindi-English dictionary when searching for a name for this blog. It has roots in vedic text to describe the ‘subtle’ or that which cannot be experienced through common senses – an apt idea for a blog about the underlying mechanics of our worlds.

For a brief time Sukshma was hijacked by my co-editor Anjali Gupta who published several blog posts here. She now writes on her blog The Tiny Picture.

A few highlighted posts that I would like any visitor to read:

About me: Santosh is an avid adventurer, technologist and a community builder. Inspired by Doogie Howser MD and the online blogging trend he wrote his first blog online on the Linux Operating System in 2000, a little after Pyra Labs started Blogger. He works out of Pune, India.

His works online include, punestartups.org – a vibrant community of entrepreneurs and startups in Pune, dubzer.com – an experiment in the hand translation of text online, BookEazy.com – an online movie ticket booking service that delighted several thousand movie-goers in Pune.

Get in touch with him by leaving a comment here, or on skype where he is sdawara.

    The picture of Mt Rainier on your blog makes my desire even more adamant to visit this nature’s masterpiece.

    Your blog along with the person behind it, as always is a source of inspiration.

    Good luck in all your endeavors.

    Hello Santosh,

    While browsing through, I came across a few notes written about opensource.

    I have 6 years of exeperience in Linux systems programming (not kernel level) in C, all with product based companies.

    Kindly let me know what all products in your companies porfolio. I am keen to join a startup for the simple reason of “sky is the limit.”

    Regards

  8. Hi Santosh,

    Real nice blog. Keep it up!

    Possibly a completely unrelated question to your blog – the main picture that you have your blog -Sambuca Cafe… Is this picture from NYC or Dallas? Just curious..I was a big fan of the Sambuca Cafe in Dallas for many years -;)

    thanks
    Amit
