DEEPALI SAXENA

An engineer at mind. A journalist at heart.

Shakespeare said, "What's in the name?"

But my Grandmaa would feel good if you call me Deepali.

Hardworking? Dedicated? Motivated? Well, who is not!

I completed engineering but then decided to pursue my calling in journalism.

I like photography and traveling. I fall for poetry and can also manage to play synthesizer and guitar. So, if you are getting bored, I am just a call away.
