For an introduction, I’m a teenage ( almost adult now :D ) girl, put up in the Western regions of India. I usually go by the name of Jade Phoenix at forums and likes, and really prefer it online to my original name. It’s something that… sorta… connects to me after being used for such a long time now. I’m often asked how I came up with it, but really, I don’t remember ‘exactly’ how did it hit me. I guess it does have something to do with the fact that I used to admire phoenixes a lot ( from the lores and legends I read ), and later on, a fav anime character of mine owned a phoenix bitbeast. As for the ‘Jade’ part, that might be because I love the way it is said. Not that I like jades as such or anythin’. I prefer sapphires more. :D

I’ve completed my schooling recently, and have taken a drop for an year to do as I please. Of course, all that pleases me makes me work a hell lot. So basically, it all ends up with me being cooped up at my comp table day n’ night– reading, writing, designing etc. It’s fun, but most of it is lot of hard work. I’ve also begun learning HTML, so that I can get into web designing as well. Not that that’s my aim or anything. It’s more like learning all this stuff gonna help me loads in the field I wanna work in.

Yeah, so I want to study Management and get into the animation industry. Primarily. Of course, there are many other things I’d like to do along as well. But the former could be called my ‘ambition’. I don’t wish to actually make the cartoons ( or animes, preferably ); I’m more interested in the content development, story board making, and marketing and advertising in this industry. I really think that there’s a great market demand of such stuff in India, but not sufficient and efficient supply, which I dream to achieve to some extent. Animation has been my source of fascination ever since I was a small kid smart enough to watch TV and understand what’s going on, and I hope to continue pursuing it in future as well. This is the reason why I need to do all the stuff I’m doing right now. To develop a better and more complete perspective about this industry, and about the lores and trends prevalent.

I guess I can go on and on about this particular topic :D, but I guess this much’s enough for a starter. The rest will be archived in my blog accordingly. Now something about my family and friends.

I guess I do have a pretty close-knit family, even though sparks fly often. There have been misunderstandings and clashes in the past, but well, you’ve got to move on. Not that you do forget the pain. But I believe it’s a part of life. My dad’s a doc in the government, and leads the state project for micronutrients distribution and according development. Bro’s an IIM-A postgraduate ( and that’s my dream too, hee ), and is currently managing a company of his own. It’s not that well settled as of yet, given that he started from the scratch without any financial capital backup, but he’s a real fighter and is getting better and better at it. Dad’s got some problems with it, but I think that they’d get solved as soon as bro completes one year for his company. Hope so anyway. My mom is a really sweet person. She’s a homemaker ( which I don’t understand as she’s studied a hell lot! ), and a really good cook. Lastly, we live with my grandfather, who’s an honorable doctor, and has got a great heart. The best thing I love about my family is the honesty which flows in the blood of everyone. Except me, maybe. I’m honest to quite some extent, but I can be devious if I wish to be. Dunno, but nobody else in my family is like that. Whatever.

Hmm, so that’s about it. There’re a whole lot more things I’d like to mention, but that would have to be for the blog posts, lol.

Ja ne~!
