This podcast is about sharing stories and conversations that I find enjoyable. You are invited to enjoy a window seat as I take a journey with interesting and accomplished people from around the world; travel down memory lane, reflecting on the extraordinary as well as the mundane as we hope to chance upon some moments of inspiration, transformation, and perhaps even some of mere serendipity.

    Bhaveeni Parmar - Are we *really* that busy?

    Bhaveeni Parmar is an electrical engineer, intellectual property lawyer, entrepreneur, experienced general counsel & tech-savvy business advisor with a keen eye for spotting hawks and bald eagles! Just like the 2020 Democratic VP candidate, Kamala Harris, Bhaveeni’s maternal grandfather also migrated from India to Rhodesia (now Zambia)!   During an extended conversation, with host Raj Menon in July 2020, Bhaveeni recalled the many interesting transitions in her life over the years... from Zambia to Florida, and through California, Pennsylvania, and New Hampshire, to Texas and Ohio.  Hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did!
