Hello
My name is Naveen Thalanki. I am of Indian origin settled in the USA for the last 10 years. I have a small family comprising my wife and two kids and a larger family back home in India.
At work I am an IT project manager. I am in the enviable position of actually liking what I do, well most of the times atleast. I do not think there is a job on earth that features only the things you love. Life is a package deal. I was not always like this. In my previous avatar I was a technical geek. I actually used to spend my free time downloading technical articles and software to play around! How I have changed.
There is more to me than just work. I am passionate about public speaking, I am certified by Toastmaster’s International as a ‘Competent Communicator’. I have also participated in Toastmasters’ speech contests. A truly humbling experience for I am so out of league with the really great speakers :O
I am also passionate about writing in general and reading on self help which is what this blog is about.
In a way I have come a full circle. I was very creative when I was a young kid, writing comics, short stories and devising board games.
With blogging I get to practice my rusty skills of writing and creativity.
