New Members- Introduction

I started this blog last year with the intention of writing some articles of my own . While talking to a friend, it was decided that we can all form a group to make it more interesting. Since the group has expanded and just so that we can see more people blogging to get more variety ..(wink wink, mindframes , time to compete ..) I think we should get to know everyone.. there are some contributors who have become too lazy or too busy ..Time to write about yourself.. I will start with mine..

Profession: 9-5 engineer working in the mixed signal domain....Yep ! As boring as it gets...
I love: watching TV, movies, reading books , listenting to good music ( any type except metallica)
I hate: hypocrisy , arrogance, sarcasm. ( doesnot necessarily mean I lack these traits:-)
Best moment in life so far: When I realised I had fallen in love
Worst moments in life so far: Dealing with surgeries and the emotional turbulence.
How do I define myself: happy-go-lucky .... trying to take life one day at a time..and living for the moment.

Good to know you again, Survivor.

I am the lazy-blogger survivor mentioned about.I have periods of busy-ness followed by periods of lazy-ness, both of which are reasons why I was MIA (no, not cat, Missing in Action).

Likes: I love the outdoors and greatly appreciate nature and am grateful to be able to enjoy it. I love Jokes and quotes, although its long since I heard a good one of either category.

Dislikes: Not worth mentioning - Most dislikes are highly temporary.

Profession: Project Manager in the IT department of a financial institution.

Hobbies include gardening, cooking, socializing, reading books, listening to music.

What drives me: Necessity

My sincere beliefs: Carpe diem, Your freedom ends where another's nose begins, Do not unto others which would cause you pain if done to you .

Here is a little map:

Survivor, Mindframes and Bumblebee (it sounds little weird to type these nicks instead of real names)
are my college buddies. Travel Lover is our junior in college.

Prof is Survivor's elder sister
Iamwhatiam is Survivor's childhood friend.

I am the link connecting my friends Meera & Manohar to this blog. (and they connect Mad_Max to this blog)

Last but not least, Saumya is my better half.

About me:
Bayarea software engineer by profession. I enjoy this blog and other interesting reads. Cherishes good tamizh songs and books.

How can I conclude my intro without mentioning our little brat Keena who rules our world. (Half of these bloggers are her pamperers).

Manohar said...

I remember a sentence from some movie (can't remember which)- "Isn't it funny that we describe who we are with what we do?". So I won't even attempt to say who I'm- but what I do for a living is write software, which I enjoy (sometimes). I'm currently passionate about running (not necessarily away from anything).

Married to Meera (another citizen of this blog), we have lived in the Bayarea for 4 years and in Bangalore for 2.

Apart from writing blogs, I do have a real job..:) I am a h/w engr. working for a startup.

I am very passionate about pursuing things that keep my curiosity ticking. My recent craze has been to solve Sudoku puzzles... Long term craze has been towards my little brat Shoba...:)

I hate false nicety and irresponsivenes. I dont like to say or do things that I dont mean. Also, I am totally against the conventionality crap...

That's me...

We become who we think we are. So, I like to think of myself as a cheerful, determined person.

My favorite pastime is to spend time with family and friends. I have a toddler daughter whose company I enjoy immensely (Yes...Keerthana) My hobbies include reading, listening to classical and semi-classical music, dancing, writing and cooking. I tend to appreciate creativity in any form.

For a living, I work as a data warehouse analyst in San Francisco (the city has a lovely character, and I've grown to like it a lot!)

Meera Manohar said...

Probably the last to come in and brag (-;

I am Meera, [AKA Swarasthaanam to some of you here] Pass my time working as a language bank coord/Domestic Violence advocate for a Bay area NPO.

Passionates include all kinds-a arts although music and dance always seem to get the better of me.

A constant everyday struggle is to dislike disliking anything!

Thanks to Brainwaves for introducing me to this awesome but at-times-imcomprehendable brainy group (-:
