    Get MORE out of online Networking, connect with me and others,
    on these networks:

  • View Dom Fernandez's profile on LinkedIn
    • My philosophy on Networking, resonates with that of Paul Adams:
    "...Connect widely. Accept a connection from anyone. Make friends everywhere
    ....Why connect to anyone? Because this is networking—people know people who know people. It is very short-sighted to refuse to contact someone here just because it seems that you are not going to get something directly from them or they from you.
    ... Why have 1,000, or more, people in your network when you are only going to maintain close ties with maybe 50? ----- Because you don't know exactly which 50."

    ... thank you for getting this far....

    I am lo0king for change - more Sun and Warmth

    I am the eldest, followed by three sisters, and then a brother (13.5 years younger than me).

    Started and led youth groups and associations in Andheri (Bombay - now Mumbai). Work-life began as a Store-keeper, then off-line data-entry & mainframe computer operations. Programming and DBMS work followed.

    Didn't get into the Engineering-stream (mischief, marks, money), and got through university (BSc) not knowing what I was going to do with it.

    I am a  multiple graduate of U-of-HK, and although those "subjects" were tough when "studying", I am ever grateful to the power for giving me the strength to Believe...and... Achieve! I believe that we can create our own miracles with a Positive Mental Attitude!

    Tied the knot(?!?) - still trying to figure that one out, when Joan popped by with her mum (the good ole days) - took her out for soup, gave her a rose (from the dining-table) and got myself into a soup - mind you this was 1988 - much before any of the "bacheloring" stuff seen in recent times.

    Abhay came by and Mathew followed almost immediately (that's why his name - GIFT of GOD. Abhay means fearless . without fear). Migrated to Canada and adorable Adora came along.

    I love people, places, cars, aircrafts, and getting IT done!. I have been diagnosed with Renaud's syndrome, a condition wherein blood circulation is restricted to my fingers and toes under cold temperatures (more info)
