*A "Me" Called Soni Pande*

I am from Churk (Distt. Sonbhadra, near Varansi) where I did my schooling. I learnt a lot from my school and family and used to participate in various activities - especially those related to fitness. I was fortunate to have a lot of great and helping friends.

Churk is a great place but somehow there was a demented mentality around there. That drove me out.

Having done my senior secondary school (in science), I went to Allahabad to prepare for a Medical entrance test (CPMT). Unfortunately, I had to leave it midway due to personal reasons and go back home.

I left Churk in the year 2000 for Delhi.

Delhi was the place where I saw life. I learnt a lot there and felt what the world is made up of. My strength and potentials came to the fore and I discovered a new me. Survival in a fast changing society was one of the best lessons taught.

I met different people and saw a different way of life. It was exciting to see the vast differences between the life back at home and Delhi. One thing which I would always cherish about Delhi is that I found my life partner and my new life there - my husband Rishi (2001).

After meeting him my life took a new turn and my journey towards Bangalore was set. It took 4 years for me to go from Delhi to Bangalore.

Bangalore saw me in the year 2005 where I got married to Rishi (2006).

Right now I am a wife of a great husband, an employee of a good organization (Accenture) and a resident of a beautiful city (Bangalore).
