...um, Hello...

Ever walked back into a room full of people you left behind for say a lifetime? That's exactly how this feels... known waters, known sails... the sailor however seems lost :).

From a recent road-trip.
LIFE is beautiful!

About Me...

'Pranjal' means 'pure' or 'crystal clear'. It's a name my father chose for me. I've had trouble getting people to pronounce it right and had my doubts about whether or not I identify with it. Ofcourse, the 'identifying-battle' is long gone. It's my name and I've grown into it.

I was born in a small district called 'Yavatmal' (sometimes spelled 'Yeotmal') of Maharastra, India. You might have a hard time locating it on a map. I was brought up in Bangalore, Karnataka, India. I spent my first 8 years of schooling (Kindergarden to 6th grade) in a convent, after which I was moved to a Central School.

Following most students from my batch, I took up engineering at S. M. V. I. T., Bangalore. Having completed that, and after a brief stint with a Hardware Company, I enrolled into a Master's Program at USC, Los Angeles, USA. I returned to India in June 2005.

I took up a research project at IISc for a year after my return. I was then offered a job with a startup company, of which I was a part for 8 months. Following this, I started out on my own as an Independent Consultant ~~and have remained so~~, worked as a Freelancer, worked with a big IT company and then went back to stay-at-home-mumma.

Life's been fair so far; I've enjoyed my happy times and struggled through difficult patches. I have a small but cozy circle of friends. I rarely meet most of them and hope to make up for that (...even now...).

I like adventure. I've tried para-sailing. Hopefully I'll get a chance to live all my dreams of travel and crazy sporting adventures. I'd also like to try my hands on photography and playing the ~~saxophone~~ ~~guitar~~ (turns out, my lungs can't hold enough air, and my fingers gave up following my mind a long time ago).

I love animals better than most humans. I've had dogs from when I can remember. I've tried horse-riding. I dream of bringing up cheetah cubs, orangutans, snakes and falcons/hawks. I would love to live in a jungle someday. It would be a 'dream-come-true' to have a family living among the wild.

For now, ~~Bangalore's home~~ Hannover is home. Making the most of 24/7! ~~working from home.~~ Much to catch up on. Life's unfolding itself bit-by-bit!
