Re: ...Introductions...
Some time back, there was a project that we (mods) were discussing where we would have a database that would list what guppies do as professionals and some other information about them, their hobbies, extracurricular activities, and involvement in the community etc.. I have no idea what happened to that project but I am thinking this is something that can be helpful (you never know). Besides, I think it'll be interesting to know what our fellows do when they offline. I know we have some very talented and successful people on gupshup. i.e. Uncle Stalker, Danial Shah, some doctors, and businesspeople etc.
Of course if we have a normal sticky thread, it can go off topic and serious replies will be buried in the flood. I am thinking to have a locked sticky. If someone wants to contribute, he/she can PM the moderator and we can add the information to the thread. Yes such topics really belong to careers and academics and there was a thread there some time ago but for some reason it got removed. If we open this thread there, I will have no control over it and I won't be able to keep it clean/managed. That's why I am thinking of opening it here, so that I (and other café mods) could personally maintain it.
Before I open such thread (I would start off with information about me), I wanted to see how many people are willing to contribute to it. Based on how many people are interested, we'll go in that direction.
So, are you willing to give information about yourself, such as your real name, educational background, when you moved to your city (if you did), what company you work for, if you are a volunteer as well, community involvement etc.? I am willing to share this.
Shikra brother , i am waiting for you to share info about yourself and i am quite sure other guppies will jump in once you start.
