Hello Everyone,

I hope that you are enjoying the spring/summer like I am.

I have decided to start my #BlogChatterA2Z 2024 challenge by introducing and sharing something about myself. What could be a better alphabet than ‘A’ to accomplish this challenge? I am writing this post on April 1^st,2024 in the evening time in one of the northern parts of the globe, Espoo, Finland while the walnut banana oat cake is getting baked in the oven so that I will be able to reward myself with a healthy version of a sweet delight, once I am done posting this article.

I have a Master’s Degree in Electrical Engineering specializing in Power Electronics from SGSITS, Indore, M.P. and a Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering from IGIT, Sarang, Odisha. I was born in Bhubaneswar, Odisha where I completed some parts of primary education before moving to Kanpur(where my father worked) where I studied till 12^th. Growing up inside the campus of an All-India-level institution in Kanpur, which provided me with a multicultural and safe environment, lent a huge impact on my childhood. I shall always be grateful to my father for taking that difficult decision to move away from his comfort zone for our future. I have a twin sister with whom I share a deep bond. By God’s grace, we got the chance to be each other’s shadow till our graduation after which our paths diverged.

Having studied and worked at different places in India like Kanpur, Sarang, Hyderabad, Indore, Mysuru, and Bengaluru made me very adaptable to different cultures. Later, I got to live and work in different places abroad like Hong Kong and Finland. Living in Finland made other countries in Europe like Sweden, Estonia, and Italy accessible to me. So, I have visited Tallinn (Estonia), Stockholm (Sweden), and Milan(Italy).

I have always been so interested in Mathematics and choosing Electrical Engineering was one of the reasons for that. Apart from academics, I invested much of my time and efforts in various hobbies like reading, writing, singing, learning Sanskrit Shlokas, languages, and painting right from my school days. I learned to enjoy my company in different cities or circumstances because of those hobbies that never left me alone. I have had a fair share of failures in my life, but I have stories of achievements too. When I reflect on my life, having recently entered the third decade of my existence, I am not disturbed by any regret, but rather satisfied with the chances that I took to build my career amidst unfavorable conditions. My forever companion, this blog, has been my biggest support for the last 11 years.

What I learned from different phases of my life is not to make plans because when they don’t happen, that brings disappointment. I am trying to live and enjoy my present. I am not making plans for the future anymore, I am trying to capture every present moment and live to the fullest.
