Prachi Garg

Taurean to the core, a child of the (early) 80s (stopped counting the years now). Prachi means rising sun. Hey, don’t look at me, I didn’t choose my name. I am pursuing MBA.I am (thankfully) “so called” a techie. My greatest regrets are not being able to write, and play a musical instrument (especially guitar). None, for the lack of trying though. I’ve always wanted to learn languages. I know Hindi, English. I learnt French at Delhi University for well over two years, and still I am struggling with it. It took me a while to get where I am in life. I’d say I’m reasonably content now. I believe if you love something, it is because you can never own it. I have a wandering and restless spirit, which annoys my mom no end. She’d like to see me “settled” (as she never fails to mention in any conversation she has with me) while I continue to feign ignorance of that term in the conventional sense. I like the concept of being a global citizen. I don’t yet subscribe to the theory of growing roots and getting old in one place, living there for the rest of my life. Maybe, I’ll change my views once I get older. Maybe, I won’t. I am passionate about travel. Stuff I’d like to be doing ideally (given the money and time): – Scuba diving in Mauritius (or even Lakshadweep) – Riding camels in Egypt – Trekking in the Himalayas – Doing a long drive on Australia’s Southern Coast – Start my journey of cocktails from vineyards of France. – Crossing the English Channel – Rafting in the Ganges – Chilling out in the Bora Bora islands I’d also like to see much more of India – what a beautiful country! I’m an enthusiastic amateur photographer. I love going out with my camera in hand and taking pictures. I can do it for hours on end. I dabble in art occasionally. It’s something that gives me a lot of pleasure. Mostly, I do it for myself, my friends and occasionally for people who specifically want something for their walls. I can do this for hours on end too. I like playing badminton but I don’t do enough of it. I also like swimming and would ideally love to live beside water). But I also love the mountains, all covered with snow. At 10, I wanted to be fed (mostly); at 15, I wanted to be a heart surgeon; at 20, I wanted to be a career woman (whatever that means). And today, I realized I didn’t much care for that either. I’m taking things as they come right now and living life to the fullest. Love: books(long live Paulo Caleho), movies, music, photography, travelling, trekking, walking
