I'm a Ph.D. in theoretical statistical physics who spent 12 years in the academic environment, then moved on to a career in IT, accumulating 15 years' experience as a project and product manager, and specialising in Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solutions. I'm currently living out my mid-life crisis in the pursuit of several creative writing ideas.
If you've landed on this page, you may be interested in the different blogs that I'm keeping going. Here are your choices:
This blog is kindly hosted by The Times of India. It's the place where I explore "the surprising yet delightful frontiers where different cultures and languages meet". It all started with an article that I wrote on the legacy of Mahatma Gandhi in Brazilian Carnival, which The Times of India published on 2 October 2009 (the birthday of the Mahatma, and a national holiday in India).
In the Footsteps of the Buddha
This one is for sharing my personal interests, building castles in the sky, and generally airing quirky impressions not suitable for publication elsewhere. It's also where you'll get to know why the choice of 'tathagata' for this blog (an aspiration rather than a description). And for fellow Samye Lingers, it's where you'll find my handwritten course notes from assorted retreats in the Kagyu Samye Ling Monastery and Tibetan Centre, in Scotland.
A Buddhist Guide to Project Management
This is another one of those ambitious projects still, alas, in embryonic development, but one I'm hoping to keep contributing to, on the one hand from past professional experience, and on the other hand from whatever little new insight I'm able to capture through Buddhist teaching and practice.
This is the most recently started: A blog in Portuguese, my first language, kindly hosted by Unipaz Bahia, a branch of the International Peace University and International Holistic University.
Happy reading!
P.S. You'll find me on Facebook too.
