Why Sanskrit?

Sanskrit, to me, is not just a language. It is a resource, a lifestyle, a way of thinking, structuring and organizing data. With an incomplete convent education and my penchant for grammar and spellings mixed with my sheer obsessiveness when doing something, I don’t know how much I will learn. Aptly considered by many as the language of the Gods and often referred to as a very scientific languages most suited to the computing environment., I often wondered about the possibility of doing computing in Sanskrit. I don’t mean just put up an interface and nifty fonts. I mean building an app/os from the ground up. Using sanskrit all the way. I know most of you would agree this is utter nonsense. But hope springs eternal.

Add to that I know only a few phrases(mantras) of Sanskrit. One the Gayatri mantra, and a few more. My favourite one is “Ahm Brahmasmi”

A question people often ask about me

When people ask me what do I do, I tell them I am an IT Consultant. Their next question most of the time is ”What do you exactly do?”. I again tell them I exactly do Consultancy in the field of IT. Again they ask ”What do you mean by Consultancy?”. Then I go like this, ”Consultancy means I get consulted by people”. Again the next one is ”What do you mean get consulted by people?”. Then my response is ”By getting consulted by people I mean people consult me”. So they ask ”Why do they consult you?”. And I reply, ”Cause they don’t have know what Consultant means”

Then I don’t get bothered for another hour.
