| Introduction | In my mind, I am introspective and still. I believe a single man has the power to change the universe....I see beauty in everything, trying to infuse life into the lifeless, music into silence, courage into helplessness. To someone simple I may not be a book more than two pages, but for those who love to delve may find an unwritten epic. I have many passions, things I love to know about. Perhaps this has led to an odd combination of a man who finds his doses in annals of timeless history as well as running daily to keep in shoulders with evolving technology. Who equally enjoys reading and writing a Business essay as much as an Art Critique. A mixture of distinctively old and unmistakably modern. It is like trying to absorb all what makes a human and what it takes to be a man... Like every man next door, I love my music, I love my movies, I love my books, I love my food, I love the internet, my cell phone, I love to keep my end of promises, my commitments on friendship, my share of laughter and bending neck for the most attractive girl in the crowd! Perhaps this is what a man's life is for....searching for completeness in bricks of this blue planet. |

A Beautiful Mind,Door To Door, Searching for Bobby Fischer (aka Innocent Moves), Amadeus, Immortal Beloved, Ratatouelle. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. |
| Favorite music | Initially spent a lot of time with rock and instrumental. Springsteen, B.Joel, Queen etc. Then fumbled into some serious stuff. The balance of Brahms, the rhetorics of Schumann, the controlled passion of Schubert, grand symphonies of Bruckner and Mahler, and those nationalists - Dvorak and Sibelius. The artistic framework of Wilhelm Wagner. The Russian maestro, Tchaikovsky's repertoire. Rachmaninoff 's piano concertos. In modern music, I was enchanted by Carl Nielsen's 4th Symphony "Unextinguishable" recently. I am idealistically Romantic but inspired by formal Classicism where Beethoven stands as supreme architect, a peerless genius. Cannot get along with Avant garde, sadly. Then fumbled into some serious stuff.Gustav Mahler and Anton Bruckner.Pyotr Tchaikovsky,Franz Schubert and Robert Schumann .I also think that I am falling in love with that Bohemian master-Dvorak. I am idealistically Romantic but inspired by formal Classicism where Beethoven stands as supreme architect, a peerless genius. Cannot get along with Avant garde, sadly. |
