Her first 11 professional years were with Schlumberger Oilfield Services, where her career progressed from field operations on oil rigs and culminating in general management in Australasia. I believe that my blogs will add this element of fusion that may appeal to TOI readers.Aruna has almost 23 years of international work experience spanning a range of management functions. While cities have their own unique stature, I find towns and wilderness more attractive. I enjoy nature treks and watching animals in their natural habitat. Whether its a melting pot of cultures or a mural of colors representing varied nationalities, the similarities are apparent amidst stark differences. Having lived in the middle-east and now North America, I find both the diversity and unity amongst people intriguing.

Being a Regional Manager, i got several opportunities to travel within middle east and other parts of the world while collecting interesting anecdotes that became a part of my blogs. I have worked with The British Council for over 11 years whilst in the middle east. This has broadened my horizons and helped create interesting blogs. I'm currently based in Canada and travel extensively for personal and professional reasons.
