Palavi Vachani from India, aged twenty-two, lives in New York. You'll hear an interview with her.

Interviewer: Well, Palavi, how would you describe yourself?

Palavi: I'm a very fun-loving, energetic, hard-working professional. I'm very proud of my Indian culture and enjoy sharing it with friends and family. I also like to travel and learn about new cultures, places and people.

Interviewer: How did you get to where you are at this point in your life?

Palavi: I was born and grew up in New Delhi, India and came to the United States at the age of thirteen. I was a bright student. Math and science were my favorite subjects. After leaving school, I went to Rutgers University in New Jersey. There I did computer science. During my last year at university, I was offered a full-time job at Microsoft Consulting Services. I've been with Microsoft since then.

Interviewer: What is your relationship with your parents like?

Palavi: We are a very close family and like to spend as much time together as possible. I have a great relationship with my parents. What I love about them most is that they change with the times and adjust to the ways of the new generation.

Interviewer: Do you see yourself getting married?

Palavi: Yes, in fact, I'm getting married in August. His name is Greg and he is absolutely awesome. There's never a dull moment between us.

Interviewer: Do you see yourself having kids?

Palavi: Maybe a little later. I think parenthood is a privilege and one must think and plan it very carefully.

Interviewer: When the time comes and you and Greg become parents, will you bring up your children in traditions of Indian or American culture?

Palavi: I think they will be truly American kids, like other children growing up in New York. But at the same time, I hope to teach them to be proud of the fact there is Indian blood in them. I'll take them to Delhi where my aunts, uncles and cousins live. I think we should remember where we come from.

Interviewer: What would you like to change about the US today?

Palavi: I'd like to change the way we interact and do business with the rest of the world. I don't want my country to take part in any wars. The US should let the world live in peace.

Interviewer: What is your main principle?

Palavi: Live the life you love. Life is full of opportunities. What is more, people can create opportunities for themselves.
