Currently working as a Business Consultant and Analyst for an IT Gaint in ERP Division.

Hi Karan:
Welcome aboard and thanks for stopping by. I hope and sincerely wish that you spend some merry time in this small world.
I feel zorpia is a great place to know, know, further know and finally grow intimate with people (of all origins). You wouldn't have imagined to have this many people from all parts of the world who are keen to befriend you!
... I am loving it!

Hi Karan!
A Fellow-IIMCian! I am from the 19th Batch (1984).
Glad to know you..........by God, you are a versatile guy!
Where are you working now?
Kindly give some details of your life.......and I ll be glad to respond!

Karan: You are not making your presence felt these days ... LO! ...what's up? Haven't heard from you again! Still in Hyderabad? Somewhere close to Banjara Hills?

Hi Pankaj

I am so sorry !! Had been busy these days, i was abroad on job, came back yesterday.

Yep !! I am stationed at hyderabad, but not very close to Banjara Hills, its 17KM from the place called Sainikpuri where i saty.

So, Wass Up in the group? Anything exciting.

Well ...I have been awfully busy for past few weeks as well. Haven't been able to contribute much ....though I always wish to. Would be free in a few days from now.

I have an old buddy -Zaki in Banjara hills who runs an ice cream parlour called -Melting Moments there. He's a well known fella in ice cream lovers' circle.

Say hello to him if you two happen to meet!!

Hi PG. I guess I missed checking in on joining! Opps!


My name is Dawn. I'm 52, have been married for 31 years and we have one daughter 22. I've been in Zorpia for two years. In my "real life" I like to take my kayak out, do yoga, and take photographs. I love to travel when the opportunity comes up.

Welcome again Dawn ... to LiZ (acronym for Life in Zorpia). When we have spent enough time in Zorpia, our behavior here begins to get impressions of our real life behavior. Initially one may pretend but cannot sustain for very long. I've noticed from your behavior that you are a very balanced person .....correct me if I'm wrong. :D

sounds to me you looking for friends couse you head is deep in paper work
you need to get out more, do some travelling meet folks,

HELLO PANKAJ, SO I WILL CALL U NOW PG. IT'S A PLEASURE
ON MY PART TO BECOME A PART AND A MEMBER OF THIS
GROUP. I AM LOID, FROM THE BEAUTIFUL ISLAND OF THE
PHILIPPINES. I AM 52 YEARS OLD, AND HAPPILY MARRIED FOR
32 YEARS. LIVING WITH THE MAN I LOVE IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL
THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME. MY FAMILY IS THE MOST
WONDERFUL GIFT THAT GOD GAVE TO ME.
ANYBODY IS WELCOME TO BE MY FRIEND HERE IN ZORPIA.
JUST GET IN TOUCH.
GOD BLESS YOU PG AND GOD BLESS THIS GROUP AND ALL ITS MEMBERS....REGARDS TO ALL.

Welcome to this small ...but fast expanding community, Loid! We're all so happy to have you among us. Anybody is already a friend, though, but it's always good to grow intimacy with a few likeminded people around you. So ...wish you all the best!
Bless...

TNX FOR YOUR WARM WELCOME PG. I AM ENJOYING HERE NOW.
TNX FOR WISHING ME ALL THE BEST. I WISH U ALSO
ALL THE BEST AND GOD BLESS US ALL.

Amen!

Hi, Panky! Just joking, Pankaj! I am Elizabeth. I study arts and I enjoy everything related to it. I was in amateur theater for some time, I was a lead singer in a rock band, and I love anime. I work in a store that sells perfume, and on the weekends I enjoy myself with my friends! I try to be happy all the time, although it is so hard doing it. I face life with optimism and I love making friends! This is me!

Ahem, what hanky panky is going on, huh? LOL.

Welcome Elizabeth. Ah-oh, I'm confused now! What are you called at home? Is it Liz, Liza, Beth, Betty or none of these? Liz will confuse us with acronym of the group's name (LiZ).

It feels good to know you better. Your interests are really fascinating. You must be a talented and accomplished girl?

People call me Beth, but u can call me desire, I dont like people here to know much about me. Thanks for your words, I just like to appreciate the beauty of life.

Point taken, Desire. I personally feel that we can enjoy the beauty of life by being able to express what we feel. And the best display of emotions can possibly be through any form of arts. You are fortunate to have more than one form of expression.

Another advantage is that such expressions bring you closer to nature that in turn makes them yet more lively.

I love nature and I keep in close contact with it in each opportunity. It makes my senses sharpened and therefore I feel more capable of understanding life better.

I knew it (without looking at your profile pic ...LOL).

The man was much happier when he was a part of nature. And those who still live closer to nature live longer and happier.

Hellooo..
This is lopamudra..frm Assam a lecturer..
Nice meeting you all here . Yes good friends are like
a gift of god to a person..married mother both

Lopa

Hello everyone

I was invited to the group by Michael and I'm glad to be here.

Hi Nada:
A warm welcome to the group. Thanks to Michael for getting us an opportunity to meet so many nice people all under one roof.
We'll further appreciate if you could contribute to these forums by way of active participation. All the best!

Hey, I am late in coming.. I do that often, though I try not to .. i just do. Am cursed to be late, I guess even in the most monumental day of my life I would not be surprised if I get late. haha xD

Err, am not really sure what to say so am spouting nonsense.. ok, am Desire. I am always on the go for something new, I am not sure of my other traits .. so I guess, lets find out who I am someday. haha

ps: i love my dogs :)

Welcome Desire ...to this group of lovely people. I regret having taken this much time in welcoming you ...but my long absence from zorpia lately is a good reason to justify this.

So, we have more than a few things in common. I'll further add love for dogs to our long list. You may save yourself the effort of knowing yourself once you start knowing me. :))

Thanks for accepting my invite.

awww no need to feel so, if one has a good reason.. then there is no need for justification. :) haha I understand your delay (though yours is with good reason while mine is mostly procrastination :S), as I get delayed at responding too.

haha If knowing you is like knowing myself, then I'll be damned if I let such an opportunity pass. How many dogs do you have? AWWww.. now you got my attention more than ever. :P

It is a privilege to accept. xD

Presently ONE! Long time after seeing one of my dogs -a beagle meeting a premature death and the other -a doberman running away from home ...I bought my daughter this lebrador pup recently (she named him Dino)!



My wife always fears such times when we get deep into loving our animals and they leave us for one reason or the other.

I'm Fleur Ionne. I am new to the group. Thanks for inviting me to join this group, Pankaj. I was just going to edit the header of my page when I saw your message so now here I am. I am basically just here in Zorpia for my friends. I get on to forums to help me kill some time. LOL! I'm logging off in a few minutes to get back with my work. Have a nice day.

*SMILES*
Thanks, and bye!
-PG

ok

Ahoy everyone, Hi hi, captain PG =)

I wanted to thank you for inviting me here as one of the member of Life in Zorpia. I really like this group, casual, fun, culture exchanges and getting to know many different stories... Thanks for creating such a nice stage for us!

My username is ritalee, easy to see, just call me Rita. Or, as my homepage shows my display name is "Sillygoose&Hairycrab", so, you can call me Goose also :P The reason why I put goose and crab on is because of it's not only my site but OUR site belongs to me and my fiance both. Feel free to visit there =) I am a Chinese, local Shanghai girl. My fiance is an American, from CA. We met last year and fell, then got engaged. We both have the same hobbies, movies, music, traveling, making friends ( with friendly, honestly and good people only )... My fiance doesn't comment on our site a lot due to his busy work, but he likes to visit and look at how I decorate our homepage and people's different comments. I come to Zorpia often, of course, I am going to visit our new group often from now on.

Anyway, Nice to meet you all. Bless!

~ Rita (goose)

Hi Rita (I'll prefer calling you Rita): Feels good to have you on LiZ (acronym for "Life in Zorpia"). It's equally good to know you have found your partner for life. We all at LiZ wish you a long, successful and joyous life together. You're a lovely couple ....as in your profile pic. Bless you both!

English is a funny language. I fail to understand why they say someone fell (the word 'fell' itself brings about a negative vibe) in love, when I feel one always gets to rise in love ...LOL!

Hi PG,

Thanks for your wishes =)

Haha, you are RIGHT about "fell", lol... I think the same. But I think it must has a reason to be "fell" instead of "rise" :D "fell" in love is more of the meaning of hard to get up from it or never will be able to get up,people who fell in love with each other will never wish to get out from it, lol... But then if you use "rise" in love is more of the meaning of happiness or pleasure or high (this high doesn't mean the "high" in drugs,LOL)... hahaha.. anyway, I agree with you ( shake hands =) )

~ Rita

Hahaaa! There again English fails to explain why one gets a high (as in drugs) and fall (as in love). This is what everybody knows about it -it's a funny language! lol...
But I must say ...you have an equally valid point.
*shakes hands*

Just wanted to say NAMASTE to you that I forgot to say in my last two posts =)

Do you speak hindi by the way, cause your English seems REALLY good compare to other indians. (sorry to "the other indians who doesn't speak good English")..lol... (sorry to myself, my English is not good either, so I am equal with them,LOL)

~ Rita

Oh! Great. I'm delighted. You also have a 日安!
Yes ...I do speak Hindi. But ...I must say ...my English is not as good as my Hindi! hahaa! But ...the language hardly matters. There are people who cannot speak ...and cannot hear ...since birth. And they do communicate. Sometimes, we speak to our dog ...and to our old tree in the court yard (and they often respond too ...!).

There are always ways ....one just needs to decide.
All relationships are possible without having to learn the language. And quite often ...such relationships are the deepest-rooted.

hohoho, I just had a lesson from our captain :D

~goose

Geeee! You flattered me!! *blushes and turns pink*

thank you very much , i think so

哈哈，好开心见到同胞！

Good, you're happy that people are happy. That makes me happy, too. LOL

Thanks for inviting me to LIZ. I am 64yrs of age and an Indigenous American (called Indian because Columbus got lost on his way to the "Indies") and I am married with 7 grown children. I am a retired psychologist/ social worker(sometimes college instructor) living on the western shore of Lake Michigan.My primary professional interests have been in mental health treatment, corrections(prisons),the homeless and disadvantaged in our society.My personal interests tend in the same vein and particularly in the preservation of my native culture and language.

Hello PG and all friends here,:)
My name is Florina, i am originally from Romania, but living in the USA. I finished Law School and currently doing a master degree program in Government Contracting. I don't have any children, but i am praying that one day i will:). It is good to be here with all of you and i wish everyone here a wonderful time:)

Hello Florina: I am happy to see you here. LiZ has been witnessing an assembly of group members coming from incredibly far-flung corners of the world. I take it as a blessing as we get to have all like-minded and enlightened people under one roof (IMAO!).
Welcome again...

I had the pleasure to meet 2 people from zorpia in real life: a lady and a gentleman. It was wonderful! I hope one day we can meet more of us. IN THE END, IT IS A SMALL WORLD!:)

I agree. Zorpia is more of a colony in comparison. I don't know how often I come across people so well known to me already. (Probably it's because we prefer to roam around in the likeminded vicinity ...LOL).

(And you never know when we see each other in reality ...how unknown we could possibly be)

We don't show our real self mostly. *laughs*

Wow! The only acquaintance I ever had with a native American was through the Clint Eastwood movies ...LOL! Glad to have you here Lew. Hope you won't mind being bothered if we have some psychos intruding on the group ....hahahaa! (just joking!)

Well Hello everyone I am Amanda from PA USA... I thought I would stop in and say hello and thank you for adding me.. I enjoy Zorpia and meeting new friends as well. I hope to learn and share new things as well with everyone.. Take care have a fabulous day!! ~Amanda

Wow! Amanda. You're a fast learner....lol! Welcome again ...and take care.

What a pleasant surprise, Amanda .....when did you change into a beautiful butterfly? Must say you look still gorgeous! LOL!

thank you I like the pic of the butterfly better, that way my looks don't blind ppl. How are you?

Oh! Welcome back. That's quite after a long time!
I like the butterfly as well. Your looks are blinding me now. LOL. Otherwise I am fine.
How have you been?
