This is Dhiren Shingadia's blog about stuff that makes him tick. Here you'll find ramblings about web technology, design and occasional, superfluous, spatters of randomness.

This first trip was an assault on my senses, which produced a cocktail of happy, sad and somewhat ambivalent feelings. I was awe struck by Thailand’s beauty, saddened by the “people economy” and intrigued by [...]
