About me
I am about 6'3" tall, balanced build, and becoming follically challenged (hereditary reasons.. what the heck.. bald men are sexier.. atleast the thought is comforting)
I like mind over matter and intellectual exchanges stimulate me, as it brings a more lasting value add. (If you wanna chat then check me on Google chat or skype) - or e-mail me at gitesh.mail@gmail.com
On the materialistic front, I am part of the rat race.. facilitating business alliances between Australia and India... My work has allowed me to gain significant knowledge of various industries (almost 9-10 verticals from Food & Beverage, pharma, bio-tech, healthcare, media, entertainment, retail, IT, aviation, life-sciences, infrastructure, realty etc.) in India (Probably the No.1 or 2 country on every company/country's radar today).
My quest to understand sectoral trends allows me to identify 'opportunities' both obvious and also those that 'lie out of the box'. In short.. I am the idea person.. who also then further strategises on possible market entry or the identification of the right JV partner etc..
I am also a certified Trainer / Facilitator:

I am an Emcee and love Compering and the stage.
On the personal front, I am a lover of all creations of mother earth, and the craft of all humans.. be it a good painting, music, movies, or a book.
Like all normal men, I love gadgets and adventure... I like to play the keyboards, and sing. I am a stage man and love to handle a mike/crowd.. hence the desire to someday be a RJ/VJ.. or MC..
I believe in the ancient wisdom and YOGA as a great vehicle to connect with THE ONE, hence I also believe in the Occult. I do practice Reiki and it truly rocks..
I love the power of information and am a voracious reader, I devour large amounts of data by stealing moments from the day (feeds my materialistic pursuit) .
I am a sucker for adventure and after Bungees and river rafting, a para jump is next on my agenda..
With the opposite sex, for whom I have the utmost respect (they are after all the incarnations of the FORCE or Shakti), over the years I have developed a curious understanding (though the completeness of it is never possible) and hence allows me to carry forward both traits, the traditional and the contemporary.. the chivalry and the equality.
On the sub-conscious front, I am a seeker, and firmly believe I am an atom of the LORD Shiva.. meant for higher things, and constantly trying to search the meaning.. (I don't wait for it to happen, I continue to flow)... sometimes Insights strike me.. sometimes I seek them through other mortals..
Yes.. I do seek (almost every moment)...a GURU, a mentor... (the Lord will always be my shepherd) who can lead me on my journey..our journey...
