The Times of Mulund-Powai - Know the YO! Bureau , Profiles,

Ankita Shreeram
I’m a student of BMM at KC College. Watching movies and hanging out with friends does not interest me. In fact, it is subjects like parapsychology, ecological problems, biodiversity, supernaturalism and Egyptology that draw my attention. Intellectual, creative and questioning by nature, I find numerous activities to occupy my spare time productively. I study French, I try and read every book that comes out of the printers. I am a crossword and sudoku enthusiast. It is my dream to understand myself truly for I believe the human self is the greatest mystery.

Deepika Kumar
Hi, I’m 17 and study Arts at V G Vaze College. I love to watch and talk about sports and sports personalities, be it football, cricket or wrestling. I hate the Saas-Bahu sagas and instead watch the news to keep myself updated with the current happenings. I’m a music lover and love to dance as well. I like to read spy novels and any of Sidney Sheldon’s or Emily Grayson’s books. Occasionally, I also write poems and essays on topics that interest me. Apart from all of these, I like to hang out with friends and take great pleasure in street shopping.

Jagcey Cherookaren
Easygoing and a fun loving 17-year-old, this may be the first impression about me. But I am the thoughtful sort. Thus it's natural for me to say that 'insensitivity irks me'. I’m a hard core optimist. I’m spiritually inclined and a firm believer in destiny. Apart from writing, I always take some time off for activities like gardening. I also take interest in reading books from different genres. Not being trained in singing has in no way dampened my spirits. I'm interested in training in classical music. Presently, I am pursuing my graduation from VG Vaze College, my goal is to become a good psychologist.

Jahan Peston
I am 17 and in SYJC at HR College. I love to do normal teenage stuff like watching TV or getting stuck in a good game of football. I also love spending time at home, and enjoy writing about anything. To me, my world is my mother and my friends. I aim to practice criminal law overseas or become a successful entrepreneur. However, right now my priority is to do something to change the apathetic approach of people all over India to the problems which we face as a nation.

Meenakshi Nilakanthan
I am 18 years old, studying BSc IT from SIES College. I love to draw, read fiction, and paint. Music and writing just about anything that comes to my mind are things that I indulge in. Sleeping, gossiping, dancing and lazing around are my other pastimes. A friendly, funny and mischievous person, I like to be with people who think like me. I love hanging out with friends, and eating is what I enjoy the most.

Nameeta Kulkarni
I am an 18-year old FYBA student of VG Vaze College. Some of my hobbies include reading, writing, poetry, singing, warli painting and also applying henna. I am very fond of dancing as well. Music is my life and I have also dabbled in Hindustani classical music. I simply love animals and would like to volunteer with animal welfare NGOs. I am of the firm belief that we, as individuals, are not here to compete with anybody and have our own place under the sun. I am an introvert and ‘unconventional’ is perhaps the best way to describe me.

Sanath Bhandary
Hi I’m 16 and study in SIES College. I studied in St Pius X High School. I love playing tennis as much as I love trekking. I believe it helps to boost your physical and mental endurance. I am an introvert with lots of patience and a nature lover. Music is the best stress buster. I like to take part in lots of public speaking contests and feel it does wonders to your confidence. I can’t live without three things - cartoons, chocolates and mom’s scolding. I aspire to become an engineer. I believe life is short so one must enjoy every moment to the fullest. Always learn to see the brighter side of life.

Shreya Shah
I am 18 years-old studying in V G Vaze College. I am a simple person, and my hobbies include singing, dancing, reading, photography and making greeting cards. I even like to paint but I am not so good at it. As a person, I am quite jovial and my interests comprise dealing with people, watching movies and sitting idle. I am committed to whatever job I undertake and like to do everything in a simple yet creative manner. I believe in the motto – ‘Whatever happens, happens for the best’. This helps to be positive.
