I was born in a small town in TamilNadu, have been brought up in Bangalore and speak Telugu at home. My name is derived from Marathi(!!!)-Bala (nickname for the Pandharapur Vittal-\cite{"Another" Balaji}) with the honorific 'ji' as the ending. My middle name has an ending "n" that is common with Tamilian name. If that is not confusing enough I have a Urdu surname.Yep! My surname has been derived from Thoshakhana which means treasury. My ancestors were treasurers in the courts of the Nawab of Golconda. They migrated to Tamil Nadu around 200 years ago. Since I have an influence of all the 3 south Indian states of Karnataka,TN and AP I am fluent in all the 3 languages. My logo designs can be seen here
I am usually working on some ideas related to music signal processing, machine learning or reading a book or watching football.
