BRIEF RESUME
Personal ​
info​​
​
I'm Sandeep who is blend of both introvert and extrovert type of personalities. I had the privilege to take birth on the land which is symbolic of both war & peace, the land where agriculture is the backbone and is known as the abode of lord Vishnu i.e Haryana ("Hari"+"Ayana"). I am second in my family lineage and that provides me the freedom to enjoy life to a comparatively longer duration.
​ I'm passionate, optimistic & dedicated man who takes up responsibilities with utmost enthusiasm. I've great amount of perseverance to achieve my goal. My optimistic and planned approach in things I do, is what driving me towards my success.
I love music - a good inclination towards folk music. I do selectively read books mostly fiction & fantasy - Harry potter, love story kind of and of course some cartoons occasionally too!
I had this uncontrollable urge to explore new dimensions both in personal as well as professional life. I love to make fun, friends and sometimes food too. I believe in God and feels that everyone on this earth is the "gifted child" who is an ordinary individual only until he/she realises their true potential. For more information about me, please free to contact me. I will be glad to have a meaningful conversation with you.
