About nandhinianand

Bookworm since the 90s. Learnt programming at the start of the millennium. Have been taking a meandering (frog approach iykwim wink) smell the flowers approach to it so far. However I feel like I've hit some sort of extremely boring desert or one huge mountain of one big ass rock.
