     I am Aniket Thakur from Mumbai, India. Learning new things is my passion and giving back is my Goal. I am a strong open source supporter and I like to follow various open source technologies.

    A workaholic, I aspire to attempt and accomplish goals I set for myself. I am highly motivated and make sure I always give my 100% to what I truly believe in. Thoughtful and determined, through work, I try to be a better person and take every opportunity to analyze myself, improve and strive harder for the next tougher goal. I am highly ambitious, confident and focused to achieve as much as I can in a given period of time. I relentlessly strive to achieve a better personality, sharper skills and mature outlook of life through what I pursue.

    I firmly believe that "It is your attitude rather than your aptitude that determines your altitude" and "Nothing is impossible if you give it your sincere try". 

   I am an active Stack Overflow member(My Profile). I am admin of Google+ pages LinuxForGeeks and JavaForGeeks. I am also the author of this blog and I run it with a lot of passion.
