About Not a Designer
My name is Pranav Negandhi, a software developer by profession. In addition to putting up various misadventures behind the camera at my photography website, I also take pride in abusing the English language with my lengthy, irrelevant essays that nobody reads. Here too, like my photography website, I refuse to succumb to a regular update schedule. Hence, you'll miss little by not visiting everyday.

This Site
The idea for this website occured to me while I languished late one night at work, struggling with last minute additions to the layout of a content management application. Try as I might, I could not formulate anything that vaguely echoed any aesthetics and usability, favouring instead a layout that would be as easy to implement as possible. I eventually ended up grabbing entire pages off the main website, splicing in the necessary text editors and calling it a day.
That's when it struck me - I really am not a designer. I booked the domain name the next day and began posting some basic software and programming related articles. Since then, this website has grown to become home to several more topics of my interest - social causes, consumer rights, and more recently, cycling. Since May this year I have gotten down to a more regular writing schedule due to my various cycling excursions.
