PEARL D'SOUZA

PEARL D'SOUZA

The eighth post on this blog is dedicated to Ms. Pearl Judith D'Souza, affectionately known to her friends as Pearly. She is literally a gem of a person. My friendship with her dates back to the second and third grades at Indian School Muscat, Oman in the academic years 1989/90 and 1990/91 respectively.

Born on the thirteenth day of October (the same day as yours truly), she is a true-blue Libran. In fact, it took me almost seventeen years to get back in touch with her and even longer, perhaps, to find out that we share a birthday. However, it made my 25th birthday an extremely special occasion.

She hails from the city of Udupi in the southern Indian state of Karnataka. She has an extremely positive attitude (no matter what the odds), a warm personality and a charming smile (which is her best feature). Her infectious enthusiasm rubs off on all the people who know her.

A simpleton at heart, Pearl now lives in London, England and is busy with her career as a clinical pharmacist.

Here's wishing Pearly all the very bet of luck and success in all her future endeavours and hoping we keep in touch with each other.
