These words best describe me – dreamer, achiever and a compassionate person, trying to contribute towards the development of the society. I chose not to be mere a bystander, accusing ‘others’- government etc for all the apathy,rather, chose to be a part of a team, who believes in bringing change. An optimistic lot, we definitely are…
Currently, I am a development practitioner and proud to be striving for a society where poverty, one day, hopefully remain to be just an archaic word. Through this blog, I want to connect with people directly, share information about myriad issues , debate on policies and mobilize people towards a unified social change.
Three cheers for development!!

Dear Anjan,
Thank you for writing to me. I not only worked in the NE rgeion, I was born there , in Guwahati.I left for delhi after graduation and since then have been in delhi. However, did get this wonderful opportunity of working with a poverty alleviation project in meghalaya , which changed my perspective and my life. Like you rightly sais, it is a begining and there are indeed so many issues that grips our region, which is shocking. Though far away, my heart truly lies in my hometown even the world’s most powrful place (washington DC) can’t change that.
Would love to interact with you
Pinky
