Life as I find it

I Describe myself as a nomad in life. Interested in anything new that comes up, game for exploring it, and happy to embrace or ignore it.

My passion with websites began when I started my own outdoor adventure and corporate training business, Wide Aware. Which new start up has money? I certainly didn’t, but I was convinced that I need a site. When I described everything I wanted to do on the site, all the quotes I got were well beyond my budget (which was didn’t exist actually). So I looked for articles on how to do it myself, and began with a free hosting platform.

From then to now, is a journey of learning, perseverance, frustration and exhileration and well beyond the capability of this one page to describe.

But this is how I approach life. I don’t let difficulties stop me, and my willingness to invest myself totally into overcoming them leads me to new learnings all the time.

There have been similar journeys with nountaineering, behavioural science, music, and pretty much everything I like to do.

Today, friends pay me to design their sites for them. Wide Aware went through several versions and phases till it is the phenomenal one woman achievement it is now. Then, just because my hosting provider allowed me another domain, I made this one. The original intention was to have a blog that reflects Indian society, but I found that I was too busy to do justice to such a vast subject. So now, it is my personal blog/space for sharing, experimentation and exploration.

Who knows what I will plan to do next over here?

Professionally, I am into three careers: this – being a webmaster, facilitating training programmes for self and group development and organizing adventure experiences. The content on this site is different from Wide Aware in its perspective. Wide Aware talks about services and possibilities in the outdoors. This site talks about my experiences in doing them.

Now I’m into yet another precious full time occupation – my son – Nisarga. Which of course means another blog about The Adventures of Nisarga. I guess I enjoy living an open source life.

Think of this as a “behind the scenes” version of my life.
