varun mehta: the person in person.

This was the first url I ever hosted my website on, say somewhere back in 1998-99. Things [the web] have considerably changed over the period of time. I was doing my graduate school at that time, and it was also the dot.com boom period. Did some good web designing stuff. Earned my self a 1976 ex-army Royal Enfield 350cc 18bhp.

Currently working as a Software Engineer [j2ee] in Pune. First thought will write a lot of technical stuff, but then there were other people on the net to do the same, so I added things more of my other interests...

Here are a few links to my blogs & website, which I've been maintaining for sometime now.

[ photography ]
Over the period of time, I have developed a small passion of clicking nature & people, life's & lifestyles. I try to capture the colours of life in a small box called the camera and render it to the other world.

[ digital_art ]
I always tried to use the digital media to express my thougts and idea, over the period of time, I started using tools like Flash & Photoshop as a medium to express my thoughs, just a small collection of my art work

[ caricatures]
In my junior college, I tried my hands on cartooning, was more inspired by the Tinkle comics. I liked some of the characters and tried replicating some of them my way. Favourite cartoonist, in order Ram Weerkar, Sanjeev Weerkar, Archana Amberkar, Savio Mascharenas [I think I screwed his spelling again!] These are a collection of some of my old sketches. Let's see might come up with new ones over the period of time. The desire to sketch more seems to have rekindled.

I have 2 other links to my website, among which one of them is more than 4 years old as of now!! I did that way back in 2001-02. It was a major hit! I still have not got is off the net, there have been no updates on the website since then.

P.S. Many people have asked me to put up my websites portfolio online, well most of them were designed during the dot.com boom. Some of them just vanished way in thin air after the bust and most of them have gone on a private B2B basis. Sorry guys nothing much left to boast, check the resume on my HTML site to know more of my skill sets.
