About Me

 Let me introduce myself, for those of you who do not know me, I'm Dinesh Kini, most of my friends call me Kini (but rarely BiKini :-> ).

 I spent most of my life in the great city of Mumbai. I really feel its a very different city when compared with the other cities in India. I did most of my schooling in Bombay Scottish School , which is a really great school. I now maintain an unofficial Web site for the school.  This section of the website has become very popular and I have over 2500 registered alumni all the way from 1950. 

 I run this site as a hobby. I managed to get the domain name dinesh.com a few ago when getting domain names was not very popular. Its cool to tell people, my address is dinesh@dinesh.com. :-)  My motivation is to use this site to get people together and bring them a sense of satisfaction.  I have made many changes to the site and I am currently running it using Mambo technology. Its really made my life easier and I am able to make changes to the site very quickly. Long live open source.

 I got married to Anupama in Jan 2004 in Bangalore.  We had a traditional Konkani wedding, which is a variation of the traditional Hindu wedding. My wedding album and the ceremony can be viewed here.

 My areas of interest are Music, Sport and Television besides Computers of course. I spend most of my time (when I am not working) listening to music or watching sport on Television.

 My musical interests are mainly in the area of alternative and rock. I enjoy bands like -

• Pearl Jam is definitely one of the hottest bands of the decade, if not of all time. Their albums are definitely worth listening to. Their first album "Ten" should be a part of any music collection. I had the pleasure of attending their concert and it was a night I can never forget.
• SoundGarden, Alice in Chains, Green Day, Men without Hats
• Led Zeppelin, The Who, The Doors, Blind Faith

 I enjoy watching sports. I watch almost any sport all the way from boxing to golf, tennis, baseball etc. But I enjoy watching cricket, NFL and the NBA the most.

 I work as a software engineer for Mindtree Consulting.
