| Greetings from California Hello fellow Team-BHPians  Finally, after three attempts in six years, my membership got approved last week. I am Raghava Jagadeesh from Srisailam Project, Andhra Pradesh but I settled in Bengaluru. I hold a Ph.D. degree in Neuroscience from one of the reputed institutes (NIMHANS) in Bangalore. Post-PhD, I moved to the US in September 2021. Currently, I am a post-doctoral research scholar at the University of California, Davis. I research how our brains make memories specifically in a region called the hippocampus, which is critical for spatial navigation and representation of the world around us. Besides my profession and interest in cars, I am a passionate wildlife photographer and traveler. My hometown is located amid the largest tiger reserves in India, so I developed a lot of interest in forests and wildlife. I also write some blog articles related to science and technology. I owned a Ford Figo Aspire 1.5-liter DCT when I was in Bengaluru. Our family (twin brother) also owns a Volkswagen Vento TSI DSG. I was sad when I heard the news that Ford is exiting the Indian market. I just sold the car two weeks before the news broke. After moving to the US, last month I bought a pre-owned but like new, a VW Passat Limited Edition Kings Metallic Red. I said it's used like new because it was driven only 196miles at the time of purchase. Owning a VW car is my dream unfulfilled when I was in India. I will soon share my experience of buying a car here in the US along with several other exciting posts. I'm very happy to be part of this great forum, looking forward to this new journey. |
