Who Am I?

Wasim Shafi: Who am I? I am a random assemblage of conflicting parts that don't quite gel. Initially I wanted to become a scientist to discover the secrets of the universe. After 3 years at Imperial College reading biochemistry, I realised there were too many secrets and I was never going to discover them all! Hence, I became a Chartered Accountant- though I seem to have trouble convincing people that this is what I do. I am currently in a finance management role in the city. I am particularly adept at modelling tax-efficient transfer pricing models. Sounds cool don't it? It is too! I like to spend my spare time reading, writing, thinking, photographing and of course blogging. I can be found moping about wi-fi cafe's with my Apple laptop and my grado headphones. I believe in the goodness of the human heart. I also believe that falling in love is the most wonderful experience in the whole universe. Everybody should do it at least once! I have a large library at home and like to spend my evenings with my feet on the foot-rest and my head in the stars slowly gorging myself stupid upon the printed word. If I could be anything I'd be a supernova.
