I am person who has an insatiable love for learning and a mammoth curiosity. I thrive on impassioned discussions about people's potential for achievement and growth.

I went through a career makeover by leaving the field of software and going into HR Training. I began wondering why some people succeed despite incredible odds.. while others have every conceivable resource at hand and yet fritter their life away. If you have any ideas.. from your own experience or from observing others... share them with me.

The transition was bumpy. People told me, "You can't do it. You are not qualified." For a while it looked as if they were right. But after 4 years I can say that I seem to be on my way to prove them all wrong. It was always-away- from-home, lonely and back-breaking labor. But I'm glad I did it.. Just glad? No! I'm lovin' it!!

My hobbies are reading, reading and reading. And while I am reading I like having music playing. Once I'm done reading, I cannot bear to keep it to myself. So my third hobby is talking to people. And recently i have begun to enjoy writing.

NOTE: Ok.. so you liked what you read here? Good. Encouraging. Did you also read what I wrote on my blogs? Did you like it? Is there anything you want to add to the discussion going on there...? Or something to say about what you read here on my zone...? No...? Then kindly DONT send me a friend request. I am not interested in making friends... like people make shopping lists... I dont want dumb, inanimate objects around me. They BORE me frankly. And I just had 10 Loooooooooong months of the most excruciating boredom EVER. Gimme a break please. Come back next century.... or not at all.

I usually go for old numbers and gazals (Jagjit Singh is a favorite). I love the music of Madan Mohan and R.D. Burman. 

I'm not really much of a movies person. Still, a few of my favorites are Gone with the Wind, Mackena'a Gold, A Roman Holiday, To Kill a Mocking Bird...

Among the bollywood fare, i liked Jewel Thief (the old one please), Kaala Pathar, Aandhi and more recently Dil Chata hai, Lage Raho Munnabhai, Rang de Basanti and the wonderful Jab We Met.
