Growing up in the #IndianArmy, I absolutely loved it! By the time I was 18, we had moved over 9 times across 9 states! #Diversity #India #TravelTuesday #IWS #VoicesIWS
Hitting the books!
My family planned a visit to #TajMahal when I was in Grade 10 and I chose to stay at home by myself and study!!! Little know fact about me, I have never been to this well-known site which can see upto 70,000 daily visitors!!!
My #dad was a strong guiding factor during this time of my life. He investigated opportunities for me & introduced me to careers I had never considered. #RoleModel #Guide #Parents #LifeChoices #IWS #VoicesIWS

Sometimes, the harder you try to make something work, the harder it gets. I had spent 9 years in US, traveled extensively and despite challenges, had grown to love the country and its people.
It was time to say goodbye. #IWS #VoicesIWS #LifeChoices
I packed by belongings in my car, drove up I5 and landed in here. At the border, the official said - Welcome #Home!

In a year, I had wonderful multicultural friends.
I now have a family and am a citizen!

Professionally, I have done some of my proudest work as a scientist @borealgenomics & worked with amazing people @C_D_R_D.
Personally, I found friends, family and a place to call home!
