Having my own blog has been one of my long lasting desires... not that it takes any extra efforts or cash, just that procrastination happens to be my first name and not to mention that I get jitters at the thought of keeping it updated regularly! Well, but now that I have made a firm resolve, here I am, yacking on this blog, before I change my mind!

So, to begin with, we’ll start with a small introductory session... I have spent a considerable part of my life on our farm, before moving to Pune a few years back... As much as I love the laid-back, but hard, farm life, I also love Pune! I have some very fine memories etched in every nook and corner here... from schooling to colleging, to working... from childhood to adulthood... but hey.. stop here... am bored of the city now... not bored exactly; the vagabond in me would love to explore newer places as well, but this city would always remain close to my heart.

I have adorable parents, they scold me and attempt to curb my rebellious spirit every now and then (but I don’t budge, you see!)... a father who is a darling, a mom who is always nagging, yet loving, and two not so adorable sisters... hehe... actually we fight a lot, but they are very much a part of my system.

I talk talk and talk... my friends and colleagues get tired by all my chatter when I am around, and miss it when I’m out of sight! Now isn’t that a paradox? But I cant help talking, it’s a geminian trait! And all in my family (except my dad) talk a lot! Though sometimes I like to simply listen and observe!

What I do for a living? Since I am a good girl  and I live with my parents, I don’t have to bother about daily bread, but as they say, to earn a living, I work... as a software engineer, the coolest, hottest blue-collar job around  I never wanted to get into engineering or geeking, but destiny intervened and put an end to my medical dream, and here I am... dishing out many many lines of code every single day! I’m actually enjoying it quite a bit... reason#1: it introduced me to the world of computers, the world which is so very mine, and a world that has given me a lot of things... induced in me a desire to read, write, gave me a lot of friends, made keeping in contact with friends so much easier!

But of course I don’t like desk jobs since they tend to curb my wandering spirit a bit too much... I like moving around and jumping and laughing and going out... so don’t appreciate the fact that we are expected to remain seated through out the day! 9 to 6 job it is, officially, but it always stretches beyond that  slowly slowly, I’m learning to balance my professional and personal life.

I’ve started reading a lot, especially in the last 1 year, influenced by friends who are voracious readers and writers... my favourite book being ‘god of small things’, and ‘a beautiful mind’.

I write occasionally, only when inspired by some divine intervention! Not that my work is divine... but the words need a big push to come out and spill onto the paper

Well, so here am I, to air some thoughts, to share my writings... feedback – comments and criticism – all welcome
