Today at my new workplace (yes, yet ANOTHER NEW workplace! I am going to be in Ripleys' soon, so watch out y'all!) a 'man with suspiciously green eyes' (MWSGE) told me to 'write a one-pager about myself for the comapny magazine'. So, I told him 'ya sure' with the fakest smile, coz i had just finished lunch and i was in no mood to 'think' and type. Afternoons are more apt for copy-pasting jobs in our world, he shud have known that.
Anyhow, thanks to the shoddy blogs i write, i managed to cook up this:
Hi, I am Pallavi. If u anagram’ize (note: NOT an actual word) my name, you get lava-lip, which should give you more than an insight to my personality. :) Well not quite :). It would take a long time for common people to realize that, so until now, it’s only my family who knows that side of me. To the rest of the world I am ‘friendly’. :)
Apart from that, I belong to North India (read Punjabi) and have been brought up throughout the country (thanks to my father’s frequent transfers) and hence did my schooling from a lot of cities, big and small. With no interest in Mathematics or science, I was a very hard-core humanities student during graduation. My interest in reading all sorts of fiction lead me to believe that a Masters in English Literature would be ‘fun’ and I will get to read a lot of ‘novels’. So, I enrolled for Masters in English Literature, only to get a rude shock later. Nevertheless, passed it.
My only other interest ‘Music’ also deceived me, when I joined Guitar classes thinking it is the easiest music instrument to learn. I NEVER passed and instead got badly cut and bleeding fingers. That however, never discouraged me from ‘listening’ to music.
Along with these experiments with ‘interests’, I started working right after my college. I began the career with training in computers applications and programming languages at various computer institutes and later in a school. A few years, and a few transfers later, someone suggested to try teaching virtually (read e-learning). I think it worked out best for me (although, I sometimes suspect that it was actually in best interest of the poor students and that no one has to bear me in person ever.)
PS: MWSGE hasnt given any feedback yet!
