Hosta

Hi! You can call me Praveen! I joined Wikipedia on 26 September, 2007. Editing on Wikipedia happened by a freak incident as I chanced upon the edit this page tab at the top of the page. The concept sounded cool for me as I was getting the opportunity of adding content to improve any article's quality that I had the understanding of. The rest is for you to see.

I graduated with my Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering from Texas A&M University, College Station, TX. While my present coordinates refer to 17°23′08″N 78°29′15″E / 17.385678524351114°N 78.48750829696655°E / 17.385678524351114; 78.48750829696655, I work in the Computer Aided Engineering industry.

For jargon's sake, Wiktivities refers to my Wikipedia activities. Here, I mainly work on:

• Indian cinema articles - trying to improve them up on quality
• Recent changes patrol
• Member of Wikiproject India Assessment Team
• Welcoming new users with a smile! :)

For those who wish to see some of my activities here, please see the following:

Wikignition refers to the recognition that I've obtained while on Wikipedia. I thank my fellow-editors for having bestowed these barnstars to me. Thank you very much!
