Welcome to Salmaniac.com — the personal blog of Salman Ravoof. Thanks for stopping by.
It’ll be easy to describe what this blog is about by describing myself first.
Who am I?
My name is Salman Ravoof. I’m from Bengaluru, India, where I have lived for more than 27 years. I’ve been living in Oaxaca City, Mexico, since 2019, with two lovely yet distinct felines — Squanchy (adopted in Bengaluru) and Sushi (adopted in Oaxaca).
After 3+ years living in Oaxaca, I’m going through a rough patch, losing trust in everything and everyone I came here for. But my roots are deep, and I’ll figure out where I’ll branch out.
I’m a nerd and geek and follow everything I’m passionate about mercilessly, be it movies, music, videogames, technology, comics, TV series, or just about any other random topic.
Science and Technology excite me a lot, especially if machines are involved. That explains my passion for motorcycles (and even other automobiles, to some extent). I’ve also done my bachelors in Mechanical Engineering!
I’m a rationalist, freethinker, and feminist ally. Logic, reason, and concrete proofs are the only ways to sway my opinion. But I try to be open-minded. You can also try giving me food, but don’t count on that.
My aim in life is to ‘learn, do, teach.’ And repeat. It sounds very simple, but it’s also very hard to follow. Nevertheless, one can always try. That explains my current profession as a Technical Editor at Kinsta.
I aim to learn everything I can. Then practice what I’ve learned. And share these experiences with others.
About this Blog
I expect to pen down all my experiences here.
The blog’s name Salmaniac is a portmanteau of my first name, Salman, and Maniac. There’s a reason why I consider myself a maniac, though there’s no professional diagnosis (yet).
Initially, I’d planned this blog to be called SALmaniac; the capitalized letters SAL stood for Science, Arts, and Love.
However, I’ve moved beyond my initial plans. While I’ll still cover science, arts, love, or any other random topic I feel I should, I hope to keep this blog more personal. Basically, anything and everything under the sun (and above it), but I’ll try my best to maintain structure within the chaos.
If you have any specific questions or want to invite me for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, feel free to contact me.
You can also connect with me on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter.
