Manaskriti - Vani Murarka's Home Page

Manaskriti is a combination of two Sanskrit words. "Manas" meaning Mind and "Kriti" meaning a Creation. The word Manaskriti means "creations of the mind" - which, in short, is what all my activities and interests are all about. Till around 2003, this was the site of my software consultancy firm: Manaskriti Software Solutions. Now, it is a site about me, my activities and interests, professional and otherwise.
