"A little learning is a dang'rous thing; Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring: There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain, And drinking largely sobers us again."

My Promise

My Why

Every moment spent not reading about something innovative, every moment not spent hacking or building something new: every moment not working on an amazing idea, every moment not spent learning more about people, places, and the world is a breath of life I could have better used. And that is something I strive to correct every day.

I am constantly both fascinated and terrified by the vast ocean of things I do not know. And the more I learn, the more my eyes open. I often find myself immersed in new worlds of ideas and information that I'd never even dreamed of. It's truly overwhelming. I often ask myself, "How can I stay afloat in a boundless sea? How can I learn? I'll never be able to learn everything I would like to, so why even try?"

I try because knowledge is enchanting. The Pierian Spring is my stimulant, and I am hopelessly addicted. I'll never rest while I still have something I don't understand. I know I can never know it all. All I can do is keep inbibing that vast ocean, one sip at a time. All I can do is keep wondering, keep thinking. Keep building, keep learning. And who knows? Along the way, I might change the world.

My name is Ananth Rao. I am an aspiring designer, developer, physicist, entrepreneur, engineer, philosopher, teacher, musician, composer, actor, artist, writer, and lifelong learner. Boy, that was a mouthful. I only hope to be able to call myself even half of those someday. And with luck - and a lot of hard work, I will.

I'm always interested, always excited, to work on new projects and new ideas, or even help in any small way that I can, so feel free to contact me.

Truly yours,

Ananth Rao
