This page has been consistently receiving a lot of hits for the past few weeks and hence I felt a proper introduction was due.
My name is Archana. It is a Sanskrit word meaning ‘Prayer’. I work as a Project Manager in a leading IT company based in India. I love learning new things. Books are my best friends. I enjoy writing and public speaking. I write short stories mostly based on people I meet. I am passionate about temple art and Hindu philosophy. I dream of writing a book on Symbology of Hindu gods, one day. My other areas of interest include Physics, Astronomy, Genetics and Psychology.
I started blogging in my company’s internal blogosphere and it was mind blowing experience. I learnt so much, made great friends and had a wonderful time. That’s where I found my inspiration to start this blog. I love this world because I get meet so many interesting people from around the world across different walks of life.

Hi Archana
You have got some wonderful book reviews. I work in the non-profit sector and I’m the author of a book on leadership from Hindu Mythology published by Rupa. It is titled ‘The Avatar Way of Leadership’. I would like to send you a copy. If you like it then you could write a review. If not then you could keep it as a gift. If this is okay with you then please let me know.

glad to find that you have an external blog too!!!
Thank you, Archana. Are you the Archana Srinivasan of CH1B?
That was a really cool intro archana.
I really miss your symbology blog now that I can’t read it. It had such good posts. Know what before I left the company, I copied all your posts onto a text file so that I could read them in future to my kids
Thank you Saraswathi. That was so sweet. I am absolutely moved. I do hope your kids like them.
Nope… I m Archana Babukamath aka AKB on CH1B……

Hi Archana.
This is Akila Narayanan, your fellow blogger in Ch1. Nice to know that you have an external blog too. I just read your profile where you have made a mention that you like public speaking too… Wish I could hear you speak one day. I am sure that will happen soon as you climb up more ladders address a gathering of which I am a part of
Your passion for reading, writing, speaking, blogging…… is amazing. Keep rocking.
Thank you Akila. So nice to meet you here. Really touched by your kind words (Just as I was by your blog post on CH1B). Next time I speak, I will definitely invite you.
Hi Archana,
I occasionally read your blog on Hindu Symbology on ChannelOne and it is very insightful!
Was happy to se eyour blog on Books and other stuff here on WordPress as well.. I am going to keep coming back!
Thank you so much Amyth. Have you commented on Symbology. I don’t remember meeting you there. Anyway, it is great to meet you here.
I think the word “Archana” is quite familiar in almost all Indian languages.. I should say it has universal presence in our indic languages.
Any way, i wanted to ask your personal id for long, .. now i got it.. (dont be scared
)

Kamesh – Thank you. I would definitely recommend wordpress. Specifically, what kind of advice are you looking for?
Re your interest in Symbology. I have done a couple of blogs on this. One on Ganesha and the next on Chidambaram.Check
I am also a new entrant to the tantic or Agamic symbology but being a Hindu, it is not difficult.
Anyway, nice to see your blogs. I expect to pickup capra’s book sometime.

WordPress linked me to your blog. It is very interesting so I will add you to my blog roll. My blog is about orphans and street children. Some of the children on my blog live in India. I feel honored to meet you.

Namaste.
“Archana” in Sanskrit, to follow strictly etymology, means -floral-offerings(like pushpa-archana when particularised), in general, ‘prayer’ is not wrong though.
