Welcome to our website !

Well, our domain name introduces you to one half of us. The other (and perhaps better ;)) half is Rashmi Upasani. Rashmi dwells from Pune, India and after completing her M.Pharm in Pune, she completed her Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Sciences at Mercer University in August 2005.  She is currently working as Group Leader  at the contract research firm Catalent Pharma Solutions.

Rashmi’s interests, other than research, include reading, playing badminton, swimming, watching mushy-dushy movies and playing Playstation 2 games.

The other half is Swanand Mokashi, also from Pune, India. Swanand is the founder and CEO of software consulting company : Malaika Consultants LLC.  Malaika Consultants offers web design and web hosting services along with consulting in ASP.NET / C# / SQL Server, WordPress and Magento projects.

Swanand’s interests, other than programming include, following the US financial markets, physical training, photography and playing Playstation 2 and PC games. Swanand has a degree of Masters (yeah yeah yeah) in Mechanical Engineering from Oklahoma State University.
Swanand is a Microsoft Certified Solution Developer (MCSD.NET) and Microsoft Certified Application Developer (MCAD.NET)

Both of us love traveling and water sports.

We got married on 25 th of April 2001  and are enjoying married bliss :P. After a few years living in Atlanta, we decided that Georgia was no longer on our mind, and moved to the state of the first flight: North Carolina. We enjoy the proximity to the beach as well as mountains from Cary, NC.

We are truly blessed to be parents of our 2 beautiful daughters: Malaika and Sanaa.

Please make yourself comfortable and enjoy our website .Suggestions/brickbats/money (more the latter ;)) is welcome.
