Sukshma, is from Sanskrit-Hindi. The Oxford Hindi-English Dictionary defines it as “1. minute, slender, thin, fine. 2. subtle (thought, distinction, analysis); searching (investigation). 3. delicate refined. (and so on�). It maybe transliterated as sukshm or sukshma.

Credit for the name of the blog is due to brilliant Vishal. The picture title of Mount Rainier and Lake Erie was taken on a trek to the Tolmie Peak in Washington. Thanks to Sarjana for stitching up the images. This site and blog do not represent the views of Santosh or Anjali’s company, previous employers, or the views of their near and dear ones.

    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.

    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

    Indeed a nicely put & informative site Santosh.. the effort is bearing fruits to many..

    Have covered quiet a few varied techy aspects on your blogs.. which I came by desperately seeking help with Airtel Mobile Office.
    The same remains unresolved but that ok..
    Just wished I could use Opera Mini on Nokia 6070
    & use the same fone to connect via MO, on a Win98 PC.

    So, are you based out of Poona?

    hey santosh and anjali,

    Would surely be a pleasure to meet you guys at the barcamp IIT mumbai. Have been a regular there since ages but somehow missed you guys.

    We at Delta Technologies have recently launched mad a freeware mobile learning initiative for the students appearing for cat, gmat, gre and equivilant exams.

    Do visit www(dot)madmobilesoftware(dot)com or alternatively sms info mad to 56677 to download the application via GPRS.

    Regards,
    Divyesh.

    P.S: the applications are freewares ;) and need no operational GPRS or any connectivity.

    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
