Introducing myself and my journal: The Passionate Professional

About Me:
Passion is defined as "an intense enthusiasm for something". Well, as someone who is enthusiastic about just about almost everything I choose to engage in, passion is certainly a central theme in my life. I honestly believe that a life lived with passion, is a life of fulfillment, a life of happiness :)

Now there are many things that I'm passionate about, and as I blog you will fast get an insight into where my passions lie... sometimes it will be around pertinent issues impacting our day-to-day lives, probably a lot about people development, women empowerment and leadership growth, at other times it may be on the lighter side talking about my passion for food and most definitely travel, or the simple and silly things that make me smile. But irrespective of the topic, I'm most passionate about sharing my thoughts, ideas and learnings with the purpose of engaging the mind and imagination of my audience in way that can add value to their lives.

With regards to the professional part... Well, in the literal sense of the word, I'm a chemical engineer by profession. I do, however, believe that being a "professional" goes far beyond a piece of paper with a qualification scribbled on it. Experience is the most powerful educator and that coupled with the passion I spoke so, well, passionately about makes for my favourite kind of professionals :) So I definitely will expose you to my professional self beyond just the engineer - in my adventures you'll encounter the professional change-maker, the professional foodie, the professional napper, certainly the professional traveler and adventurer... And when you don't see a blog for a while, the professional procrastinator :)

So be it what it may, I couldn't think of a name more fitting than The Passionate Professional
