Thanks to spammers, I have shut down the comment system on this blog. Sorry about that.  Feel free to email or use any of the following public modes of contact:

* Email: svαksha ατ gmail døt com
* IRC: svaksha @ major irc networks and my time zone is UTC+0530hrs
* Skype/Gchat: svaksha

* Twitter: http://twitter.com/svaksha
* Identica: http://identi.ca/svaksha
* G+: https://plus.google.com/u/0/113578342347990591936/

Preferred Communication Language: English ** (see Note below)

**Note**
1. Dont write private emails in multiple Indic scripts. I've received such emails from men who then get abusive because I replied in English. If you are looking for casual chat friendships, you are at the wrong place. I'm not a social butterfly in the STEM / FLOSS world intent on gathering 5-digit twitter/FB followers, so dont spam me in multiple languages. Given that India has 800+ languages, I know a very limited number of Indic scripts.
2. Dont be the ubiquitous sexist-jerk, or ask personal questions via off-list emails (including IRC PM's).
3. I abhor flame-wars, stalking and needless baiting on communication networks - an unproductive time-sink. If you want information related to FLOSS or want to contribute to the Foss communities I volunteer with, please direct your question(s) to the respective mailing list or IRC channel.

I've had abusive private emails and experienced all of the above, so as policy, I will redirect FOSS related emails to the respective mailing list, unless you flag it with "private" or "confidential" tag. Community responses increase collaboration and indirectly benefit other people with similar objectives, thanks to a larger number of people present 365x24x7 who might be able to help you much faster than I can in private.

Thanks for reading!
