While many get confused in the war of thoughts between the head and the heart, many use it to add another dimension to their personality. They can fulfill their duties as passionately as they pursue their hobbies. Sanyogita Pendharkar’s profile as a product knowledge management practice head at a reputed design firm might not speak of her talent, but her home is sure to spill the beans. Like any other youth, Pendharkar too thought of following her heart and went in for an interior decoration course at JJ School of Applied Arts in Mumbai. But it seems, the future had something else in store for her and she landed up with a job that required her to design manual for automobiles, mobile phones and many other products. However, keeping her profession and passion on two different tracks, Pendharkar decided to take up interior decoration to satisfy her creative urge. And 10 years down the line, she is taking up assignments for interior decoration, while doing full justice to her profile at her office.

“I always had an inclination towards creatively decorating my house. And the space crunch in Mumbai only aggravated it. We had a small one-room apartment and to beautify it, I did terrace gardening under the guidance of my mother. Since then, there has been no looking back, as I kept practicing the art and also took formal coaching in interior decoration. Though it’s not my business per se, I help my friends and acquaintances in decorating their house,” says Pendharkar.
