Profile:
I am Varun Kashyap from India. I am passionate about Computers, Programming, Internet and the Technologies that drive them. I got addicted to them ever since I got my hands wet. Since then I have found myself helping out friends, relatives with all of their computer related queries and sometimes explaining various technologies. I love to discover new Web Applications and sites that increase my productivity and make my work easier, faster and fun. On the desktop side I generally prefer open source softwares for the simple reasons that I like their philosophy and they have so much more to offer than the proprietary ones. I love programming and often I am working on projects in Java, PHP, AJAX etc. When I am not on pc I like to spend time with family. I am a Formula 1 fan and just can't have enough of it! I also like gaming occasionally. I have a blog where you can find me explaining computers and technology in simple words, at the same time I try to include hacks, tips and tricks for people who wish to go that one step further.
