About: SHISHIR GUPTA

Well I am an IT professional working for a reputed IT firm in Pune. I have been working on the data repositories like Team Foundation Server and Visual SourceSafe and so have gathered some experience and a good knowledge about these softwares. And so I have written about them as this might help the other people who want to follow these topics. I have been working with Scrum for some time as well and it is very exciting. Every day I encounter something new and this is the best thing of it. It helps a lot in how to manage your work and how to go about it in completing it correctly and in time. So actually this explains why some of my articles are related to scrum. Well I will be writing about many other topics related to computers and maybe some of the topics that are not related to computer as well. . I started out as making this one as a technical blog. I had created two other blogs initially on Sports and Television respectively, but managing all of them together was becoming difficult, so I decided to delete two of my blogs and import all the posts here.

I love sports and they too form a very important part of my life as well and for their love I have written a few posts on the blog on various sporting legends I love and admire. They come from different sports but they do motivate me in some or the other way to perform better in my life in all fields and not only sports. Their ability to fight under tremendous pressure and even when everything is going against them and still come out victorious against all odds motivates me to perform better in life and it has helped me to attain great confidence and faith on my abilities and also helped me develop a never say die attitude in my life.

I love to watch television and it really excites me and it too forms a very a very important part of my life as well. And that is why I have written quite a few posts in the blog on a few television shows and television actors and presenters. I am a television enthusiast and definitely some of the shows appeal to me a lot so I have taken out time to write about them so that other people can also come to know about them. Although I don’t think these shows need any introduction but still I have written about them since most of them have finished their seasons and are off air now, so people can read this blog and fall into the nostalgia. Man vs. Wild (a show of different style than the other shows I have written about) is a show which appeals to me a lot, as I love adventure the show really fulfills the feeling to the fullest. While the other shows that I have written about deal with the youth life and culture, have a little romance, a little comedy in short I can say something that many of us can relate to ours lives. I think all of us do go through this phase of life, some have gone through, while some are enjoying it at the moment and some will go through it in their near future. So to bring about that feeling once again I have written about those television shows.

HOBBIES:

I love riding bikes and enjoy going on long drives on them. I do love adventure and so like riding to Ghats nearby, visiting beaches and other places. I like mountaineering and trekking. I have fascination towards water sports as well. Apart from all this I like playing the guitar and listening to old hindi music. I am a complete foodie (a vegetarian though) and like to eat a lot of different cuisines.  I do play a lot of sports as well like Cricket, Basketball, Squash, Lawn Tennis and Football. Now I have all of this on my blog already and adventure and music also form a very essential part of my life and maybe I will write about them as well sometime later.

Why I am Blogging:

One of my very good friends Shubhendu Trivedi has been blogging about for quite some time now and has really impressed me with the kind of work he has done over it. That motivated me also to write on some topics that I like and express myself in the way I want to as well as I would like the people to know about them. I hope I can impart some of the knowledge as well some details to the world. I started out as making this one as a technical blog. I had created two other blogs initially on Sports and Television respectively, but managing all of them together was becoming difficult, so I decided to delete two of my blogs and import all the posts here. But definitely my frequency of updating the blog has reduced tremendously, even after reducing my blogs from three of them now to a single one. And now I am joined by another of my very good friend Mihir Patel on this blog. He has joined this blog as an author mainly for a few technical articles (computer related). I think this blog needed him as I had almost run out of the technical topics (had not updated a computer related topic for quite a while now).
