I'm Vishal Bhatia living in hot & humid Bombay (or Mumbai), the commercial capital of India. This page was meant to be a stopover (you know, you log on & then have no idea where to begin). I wanted the page to load in the shortest time possible, hence, forgive me for the zero-graphics format.
Many of my links are India-related although my page is by no means comprehensive guide. Anything goes in the Abyss, anything under the cool, blue, skies (pessimists read that as hot, glaring, sun), that I've found gratifying, thought provoking, interesting even.
If you find any of the sites offensive in any way, please do not spam me as there might be countless others who would find those very sites interesting. I do not endorse any site for which I have provided a link. Constructive feedback is always welcome.
I hope to update the page regularly. Please report any broken, invalid or outdated links. Send me any cool, interesting links. Oh! And thanks for visiting my page.
