About Me

Hi there. I'm Ashwin. I'm a software developer, writer and aspire to be a storyteller someday.
I enjoy having deep conversations since they help me form a strong bond with the other person and also provide me with a different perspective that can help me improve my ways.
I'm a huge fan of MS Dhoni and from him I derive my sense of dedication to the process than being focused on the results. I believe in having a system that helps you improve one day at a time.
While I do have a guilt free love for cheese and chicken, I love food in general, and would be up to cook together or eat at any place and at any time.

I believe success is best achieved by harmonizing all spheres of your life that you deem important.

Ideas I Live By

  • 1. Happiness is a journey, not a destination - Finding the right balance between contentment and ambition is crucial for a happy life. Take life one day at a time yet don't lose sight of the future. It's all about the balance.
  • 2. What goes around comes around - All your actions, voluntary or involuntary, have reactions that will find it's way to come back to you in some form or the other, good or bad.
  • 3. We always have a choice! - "Whatever comes our way, whatever battle we have raging inside us, we always have a choice. It's the choices that make us who we are, and we can always choose to do what's right" - Spider-Man(2002)
  • 4. Ego hinders growth - There is no bigger hinderance to growth than your own ego. Your emotional side will always go on the defensive at first whenever challenged. You have to let your guard down and question yourself, "Is there something I can do better here?"
  • 5. Be authentic - Being authentic is a conscious decision you make every single day. Identify your strengths and accept your imperfections. Improve and strive to provide value daily.
