ABOUT ME

ABOUT ME 

Hi.. I am Tanya Romy Paul. My name has always been unusual to a lot of people who have either heard Indian names or American. My mom picked my name because she liked someone's name in her school.  Romy is my dad and Paul was the name of my paternal grandfather. I am married and live in Irving, Texas with my husband Joe. I am a homemaker as of now who likes blogging in her free time. Normally homemakers are looked as jobless people but it is all about balance. We manage home while the person who is working can focus in work. People think managing home is easy but if that was the case , then everyone who is not used to doing that can just hit the road running. I am an NRI[ Non Resident Indian] who was born and raised in Jaipur, Rajasthan and lived latter part of my life in Jacksonville, Fl in the US. 

Jaipur , Rajasthan is a beautiful city and is named pink city after its walls of pink sandstone. Pink is the color of hospitality in Jaipur. This city is full of history of brave warriors and palaces. I am proud to be a part of Jaipur. I went to St. Xavier's Catholic School of which my dad is also an alumni. It is a school that is combined with church on the same area of land. You can check it out via google maps. I could go on about Jaipur and my childhood because we all cherish our childhood. I am just going to share a little glimpse here. I grew up there and studied till 5th grade. One of my teacher's husband was a musician who has met the Beatles. We were so excited and went to tell the teacher next day that we saw her husband on TV. I am a loud and proud 90s kid. I grew up listening to Backstreet boys, Michael Jackson, Destiny's Child, Falguni Pathak, Kumar Sanu and many others. 

I got into the habit of writing from 7th grade. I used to write my regular private journal but it was not till 9th grade when I actually started showing interest in writing. My high school teacher got me interested in it. He used to say the more you write, the better you get at it. Once I went to 12th grade, I enrolled in what I thought was a computer course but it turned out to be a course that worked on high school newspaper. I started writing column there. I interviewed custodians , chess champions, and many others who made a difference in school. I also wrote about health, school activities and music. It was in that class I discovered my interest in writing and I hope that you all enjoy my blogs.
