Its a question people have been asking ever since they
first emerged from the primordial nursery and became sentient.
It is still a question that requires a definite answer.
Nonetheless my response to the question would be as follows.
My name is Arash Partow, I'm a computer scientist by ambition
and a software engineer by trade.
I enjoy such topics as information and complexity theory,
cryptography, computational geometry, digital watermarking, massively
distributed cluster computing , autonomous control and navigation
systems and cognitive sciences. I spend what little time I have reading
up and further investigating these fields.
I also like reading anything that is worth reading, playing
chess, learning and listening to the ney and occasionally
climbing mountains. Other than that I pretty much lead a normal
life.
