My actual name is Ajinkya which means something which can't be won.
I am studying currently in 12th standard in India.
I want to be an engineer and I like reading non-fiction.
I have a doubt hare. The time for chatting is given on the homepage as 9 p.m. But according to which time zone it is?
I am eager to know about your interests and proffesions.
The time given is Eastern Statndard, as most of our members are based in the East of the US.
This means I can't join the evening chats, as I am in France and that would mean chatting at 3 am for me.
I hope you can join the week-end chats, which take place once a month on a Sunday, I always take part in those.
There is a thread, led by George Ricker, which explains about chats: it is called "Chat Central".
You are our second member from India, the other one is an history college student from Delhi, Setonfire. I'm really happy with this because I am interested in attracting members from other parts of the world, I was thinking of India and Europe specifically so I'm delighted when I see progress.
Which part of India do you come from?
