About Yuri

I’m 23.

Born and brought up in Pune, Maharashtra. I love the city-everyone has a dog, a bike and all my friends stay within a 10 min radius. There are trees, playgrounds & tekdis ( hills ). Everybody loves eating at Vaishali & Good Luck & you always meet everyone there. Only Puneites dare drive in Pune.

I’m football crazy. I love Manchester United. Roy Keane & Wayne Rooney are my idols. Watching a match at Old Trafford is one of my dreams. Getting to play football everyday also is.

For the last year, I’ve been staying in Mumbai with my brother Yash. I love & hate the city passionately. Nobody has a dog or bike and I can’t play every evening. A 10 min radius in Mumbai is the size of a large pizza. I love the splendour of South Bombay & that I can choose between 10 places to eat at even at 1 am. I hate the rickshaw-wallahs & the advertising hoardings everywhere.

I’ve been working in L&T for a year and some more. Check LinkedIn profile for details. I’m a chemical engineer. I miss my engineering college days ( testament to the power of nostalgia ) We played a lot, made great friends and studied a bit too.

I love dogs. My dog Topsy was the sweetest, softest, coolest dog on the block. He didn’t do tricks as a matter of principle and hid in my parent room when my grandpa shouted “Chor,Chor” ( Thief, Thief ) in his sleep. Miss him.

I love Radhika, Nikhil, Aalok, Teju, Soniya, Aesha, Gautam, Namita, Neha, Shyam, Yash, Deepti, Vinayendra, Saloni who have for better or worse, made me the person I am today. Special thanks to Radhika, Govindraj,  Shyam who helped and encouraged me to start blogging.

I’m confused. I think its a good thing. Or not..
