About Me

“न चोराहायर्वम्न च राजहायर्वम्, न भ्रातृभाज्यं न च भारका र।
व्यये कृ ते वधर्वत एव नत्यं, वद्याधनं सवर्वधनप्रधानम्॥”
- Sanskrit Language Quote
“Neither thief can stole it nor can it be taken away by the kings. It
cannot be divided among brothers, it does not have a weight. If spent
regularly, it always keeps growing. The wealth of knowledge is the
most superior wealth of all!”

Why Namaste ?
Culture ?
“Culture of an Organisation help in its sustainability.”[1]
Culture of the country define its existence.
[1] Sources says “Culture” in Red Hat has helped it in sustaining more than 25 years and so other companies as well I believe.

Talk
