Hi -

My real name rhymes closely with my panel name which explains why I picked the name.

I am originally from India and moved to the USA when I was 15.

I did my undergraduate work in Electrical Engineering and am currently working as a IC design engineer. I am also going to school full time to get my MS in Electrical Engineering.

Not a Typical Nerd

People think I am a nerd, but in reality I defy the stereotype of an Engineer in practically all aspects! I love playing beach volleyball. Unlike my name suggests, I am a health freak who hits the gym at least 4-5 times a week.

Some people call me "wonder woman", but I disagree with that. The secret is ... hmmm ... its a secret ... oh well, here it is:

time management and organization

Transition Between East and West

Having lived in the USA for about 10 years now, it's taken me years to make the transition/ acceptance between the eastern and western cultures. What I have learned is to make a niche of your own – pick the best of both cultures and create something that works for you! Trust me, it has not been easy. I am still here and surviving, so I guess it has worked for me.
