This is Pulkit Parikh, a computer science researcher by training. Having obtained MS-by-Research (specialization in computer vision) from IIIT Hyderabad, I have been earning my monthly wages through software R&D – most recently from Microsoft, and previously from KSS and HP Labs.
I hail from Ahmedabad (Gujarat), where I spent the first two decades of my life – playing innovative forms of cricket tailored to spaces of all shapes & sizes, and being pampered by an incredible family. A few years later, I embraced Sejal as my partner for life. I couldn’t have married anyone more thought-compatible or upright than her.
I am a staunch believer in fair-play and rights, concerning not just humans, but all sentient beings. In line with that, I became a vegan when my ignorance about the horrendous atrocities committed on cows, chicken, etc. on dairy & poultry farms was shattered [clip 1: cows forcibly, painfully & repeatedly impregnated, clip 2: chicken de-beaked with a hot blade & slaughtered barbarically]. Veganism – curbing meat, eggs and milk products – also turns out to be an excellent choice for environmental conservation and personal health (as substantiated by this CNN documentary which also depicts why Bill Clinton turned vegan).
I am avidly fond of following cricket and playing bridge (a riveting mind game of cards). Here’s my profile in Facebook. Feel free to drop me a line by email.
Where are your working friend??

Hi, I chanced upon ur blog today, and though my line of specialization is entirely different, admire it a lot. Thought provoking, humorous, just a tad ironic, n yet so full of truth – your posts compel one to think and act. Have made a mention of your blog on my FB profile, hope you don’t mind!
