About Me

Sapna
Try to live up to my name. Sapna means 'dream' in most Indian languages, with small modifications of course. PhD in Computer Science, specifically, Software Testing. Love to travel, can't keep away from dogs, enjoy teaching, love wildlife, become a painter on and off, scribble when am happy or turn philosophical, and can listen and talk about anything that is interesting. Not a good shopping companion, nor interested in theme parks and malls. Weddings I find still stressful - must remember names and faces. In short, I am me, and try and live life to the fullest.
