A little bit about me...
Kia ora / good day / hello / namaste
My name is Shirish Paranjape. Christchurch is the only city in NZ I have lived in - since 2002 - when I moved to NZ from Mumbai, India. Within Christchurch, I have always lived in Burnside / Avonhead area.
I am an electrical engineer by profession and have a full time job. Outside of work, I am involved in many Community centric activities- such as being a Justice of the Peace, a member of a local Rotary Club for 10 years, a volunteer driver/ crew of the Christchurch Peace Train and one of the local Leads on Neighbourly. I am a pro-bono reporter of Indian Newslink at Christchurch.
Additionally, I feel privileged to have been elected by the residents of Waimairi ward as a Community Board member at Christchurch City Council. I am currently on my 3rd term.
I love the neighbourhood which has been home for 22+ years. I like sharing items of common interests through both digital media (Neighbourly, Facebook, Instagram, Google Maps) and print media (Star Media, Indian Newslink). The readers will generally find that I share positive things with others.
