TOP 10 MOST WANTED PROFILES AT POLARIS


In Polaris, when the organization started an internal wiki, to encourage and drive the users to the wiki site a contest was conducted for the best profiles on wiki. The contest was in 5 to 6 rounds. My profile was in the first round of the top 10 profiles rather "most wanted profiles". It was good fun. I enjoyed the fun because the fun was in running the race rather than in winning the race. Ofcourse winning is undoubtedly wonderful. I have great self-satisfaction in the creation of this profile though it was not voted the best. If you ask me from what I saw from all of the profiles I am sure that mine is definitely the best profile. "I AM THE BEST!" Check it out!

About Us: We studied in the same school, we are from the same area and same city Vizag. And the surprise is that we don't know each other until we got engaged. It's an arranged marriage. :-) Actually, I prefer it to be called as "Marriage Love" because we are in love after marriage, unlike in "love marriage" where love is before marriage. As long as Love is in your life, it doesn't matter if it's Love Marriage or Marriage Love. It is my opinion and you don't have to agree with me. ;-) Married on 10th August, 2005.

More About Myself: If your "dil maange more..." then read this "dil se re, dil se re..."

Born & brought up in the Steel City Vizag a port with a natural harbour, I completed my schooling from KG to PG at Vizag. I grew up in a joint family of a dozen members (6 adults and 6 kids). All preparations & purchases were made in multiples of dozen. Count is easy, isn't it? :-) In the family tree, our family was like a cricket team with 11 people and one extra-special, I. I am the youngest at home, so the star of home. Values obtained from family are punctuality, self-discipline, worship, travel and celebration.

I started my professional career in the twin cities Hyderabad and Secunderabad, travelled to USA, Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia. I have friends across the globe and I cherish their true friendship. I appreciate different cultures while retaining my traditional roots.

A big achievement in life is going on a bicycle from Vizag to Puttaparti (1200 KMS) with a group of 135 Satya Sai Devotees on a Spiritual trip for one week. During the day we cycled from 5AM to 5PM. In the evenings it used to be Seva in villages through distribution of food and clothing.

I start the day with devotional songs, day passes through all genres of music & songs and ends with a situational song. Music is the spice of life. I like to sport an urban look and dress to the occasion. I get high at Discos and Bhajans. Offering a Thyagaraja Kriti or Bhadrachala Ramadasu Kirtana to Lord Sriram is fulfilling to me. I like children. I like to live my life, be in love and continue to learn, smile and laugh.

Bottom line "Happiness to me is state of mind and not state of affairs".
