profile1.jpgSarath used to work in remote oilfields but is now slowly finding his
way back into civilization, blogging and his time consuming first love
- Cricket. He is an engineer by profession and loves fixing
and figuring things out. For now,he lives in India and will update his
profile once he knows what he wants to do in life, which might be a
very long time away. He will, in all probability, write about Cricket
since he has very little armchair expertise in other sports, although
he might make the occasional dab.
