— Well, Pallavi, how would you describe yourself?
— I’m a very fun-loving, energetic, hard-working professional. I’m very proud of my Indian culture and enjoy sharing it with friends and family. I also like to travel and learn about new cultures, places, people.
— How did you get to where you are at this point in your life?
— I was born and grew up in New Delhi, India, and came to the United States at the age of thirteen. I was a bright student. Math and science were my favourite subjects. After leaving school I went to Rutgers University in New Jersey. There I did Computer Science. During my last year at university I was offered a full-time job at Microsoft Consulting services. I’ve been with Microsoft since then.
— What is your relationship with your parents like?
— We are a very close family and like to spend as much time together as possible. I have a great relationship with my parents. What I love about them most is that they change with the times and get adjusted to the ways of the new generation.
— Do you see yourself getting married?
— Yes! In fact, I’m getting married in August. His name is Greg and he is absolutely awesome. There’s never a dull moment between us.
— Do you see yourself getting kids?
— Maybe a little later. I think parenthood is a privilege and one must think and plan it very carefully.
— When time comes and you and Greg become parents, will you bring up your children in traditions of Indian or American culture?
— I think they will be truly American kids, like other children growing up in New York. But at the same time I hope to teach them to be proud of the fact that there is Indian blood in them. I’ll take them to Delhi where my aunts, uncles and cousins live. I think we should remember where we come from.
— What would you like to change about the US today?
— I’d like to change the way we interact and do business with the rest of the world. I don’t want my country to take part in any wars. The US should let the world live in peace.
— What is your main principle?
— Live the life you love. Life is full of possibilities. What is more, people can create possibilities for themselves.
