Come, check out my blog at http://rajilukkoor.com/blogweb I also invite you to connect with me on Twitter @rajilukkoor and on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/InnerPilgrimageTenDays Professionally speaking, I hold a bachelor's degree in civil engineering from Goa University, India, and a master's degree in environmental engineering from San Jose State University, California. I also possess writing credentials from the University of California at Santa Cruz. My passion for writing has led me for nearly twenty years now, to write for government and technology companies in Silicon Valley, and provide volunteer writer services for non-profit organizations throughout the world.
