About

I am Preeti Bhatt and write under pen name of Zengirl at the Heart and Mind Blog. I am a typical Gemini with duality in thinking, hence writing about finding a harmony (balance) between what heart desires and what mind commands.

I am happily married to my best friend Zenguy, we have 2 little kids R and little P. I am thinking about homeschooling both the kids and currently teach at R’s preschool as a volunteer teacher. I have an engineering and marketing background, I gave up my six figure income to stay home with my kids and I know I have made a right choice. I can be chatty at some times, but I like my solitude periods to recharge myself.

I love to cook various type of ethnic and simple food, I believe in slow food, natural and unprocessed eating. I am a vegetarian since birth and working on becoming a vegan.

I love to talk, think and write a lot, I used to be a student editor at the University engineering newsletter during college years and published a few tech articles and white papers while I was working in corporate world. I secretly write poems and stories. My grandfather and mom are published authors and poets and I am inspired by them. I love reading passionately, watch romantic and science fictions movies. I am a geek at heart.

I also do oil painting and sketching and other arts and crafts in my spare time, which not much lately. I collect stamps and coins, as a fun hobby. As you can tell I am jack of all trade and master of none.

I am working on simplifying my life, meditate, be in Zen mind and spirit and find sustainable living. I like learning new things and meeting new people,travel, being frugal and save money (out of necessity of being at home) among other things, and hopefully not doing all at the same time:-)

I blog in between, kid’s naps, cooking, being home CFO (basically a bill payer), teaching, cleaning, reading and many other life’s boring tasks that we must all do. I right now blog about once to twice a week on various topics that are close to my heart.

I am not an expert but lifelong student on learning new things in life. Please visit “Happy heart and Mind” blog to read my journey to live the best life we can live, while empowering and helping others.
