And she is a multi-tasker (as the article says) too Smile

Anuradha Vaidyanathan is India first Ironman athlete. The multi-tasking 30-year-old PhD holder and entrepreneur tells us about the challenges she's had to face and how she made it.

With all this ability to multitask in the extreme, if only she could add carnatic music to her ADHD ........

Maria,

===> Is it her IIT background or the urban middle class TN Brahmin upbringing which has made her be an independent and self actualized woman once she moved to North America?

Sara,

Obviously- she is a motivated individual, and many factors including what you mention helped and help her to be who she is. Of course, there are always unknown factors as well.

*Self-actualization is completely individual-internal. A person from any background are capable of achieving it, imo. The external stuff may or may not contribute a whole lot to it.

Are you part of a research team of one, studying obscure references and often times imagined connections to brahmins?

All independent women in NA are Brahmins. If they are not, they should be.
