As for contacting me
Phone calls often bring a sudden break in my chain of thoughts
and therefore, I always prefer to avoid calls. An SMS (text
message on mobile) and/or an email, however,
does not cause similar distraction and, therefore, these two are best ways for communication
with me.
As for personal meetings
It is generally not feasible as I have no fixed time for work.
When my mind is active, I sit down at my desk and begin to work. It can be any time of the day
or night, and there is no fixed time. When I am physically or mentally exhausted, I retire to
bed. So, if I agree for a time for a particular day, I simply wouldn't know in advance as to
what state I shall be in, at that given point of time. Working for 10-15-20 hours at a stretch
is not unusual for me, and when my body and/or mind needs rest it can be a brief one or even a
prolonged one. For this very reason, I do not accept any invitations as well besides requests
for meeting at my place.
As for occassional offer of donations from readers
While I thank you heartily for your kind gestures, and I have
accepted such offers in the past, for now I would want to avoid it
But then, I do keep spending a lot on genuine computer software, computer hardware, web site
hosting, domain registrations, broadband connection for web site development and research,
etc. Any reader keen on helping can do so by directly paying to the suppliers of such goods
and services.
