About Me

Born on the 14th of July , i show all the traits of a typical cancerian. I am the typical crab , deeply influenced by the moon and water. Even today , if you are particularly unlucky you can catch me in one of my "pensive" moods, staring at the moon or sitting next to a lake. An excerpt about cancerians :
"Outwardly they can appear formidable - thick-skinned, unemotional, uncompromising, obstinately tenacious, purposeful, energetic, shrewd, intuitive and wise, sometimes with a philosophical profundity of thought verging on inspiration. Their intimates, however, may see a very different character, one with a sympathetic and kindly sensitivity to other people, especially those they love. They are able to identify with the situations of others because of the keenness of their imaginations. They are often over-imaginative and prone to fantasy, sometimes trying to shape their lives to fit some romantic ideal."
I was born in Pune , the cultural and educational capital of Maharashtra. In this land of the Peshwas , i did all my education , right from schooling till my Bachelors Degree in Computers. After that unfortunately i had to leave the town. Its said about Punerkars that, whatever their age, they talk about Pune with nostalgia. I emphatically agree with this and add that Pune is not what it used to be five years back. Now its become a cosmopolitan city , losing its small town feel and its homeliness. But in spite of this , it is as difficult for any punekar to leave this city today as it was previously.
