WELCOME!

I've been resisting a blog for the longest time. Why? - coz its work :)

However, after constant pestering by the DW and seeing no outlet for the built up thoughts, I've finally decided to launch one. Thanks to the DW though for creating the template and almost making it as easy for me as typing my thoughts out after clicking the 'New Post' link.

The name - I'm fully aware that it seems 'inspired' by a popular Bollywood movie which I haven't seen yet - came after a lot of deliberation. There were names like "Dhurbeen" (in Hindi Doorbeen means binoculars) and "BajaDhur" (in Hindi Bahadhur means brave) or just simply "Dhurka" (which the DW felt was too plain).. I ruled in the favor of "Being Dhurka" inspite of sounding unoriginal, since its much easier to relate to.

For those who don't know me (though I don't expect a lot of people to come to the link) my name is Vikas Dhurka, currently working in the Bay Area (otherwise known as the Si Valley) marketing semiconductor chips. Product of the 100% EOU, LD Engineering College Ahmedabad, Gujarat India, did my MS in USC - LA and have been in the Bay Area ever since.

I met DW - http://deepthoughtworkshop.blogspot.com, at USC and have been married (alright happily married) since 2004.

The blog will contains posts for movies, music, marketing, technology, food, television, cell phones, stocks, cricket, jokes, politics, sports and anything else that I might have missed here. No promises on the # of posts, or the frequency. But, it will definitely describe the challenges of Being Dhurka.
