Engineering Student Finds Success on Cultural Runway
Georgia Tech sophomore Meghna Nagarajan wears two crowns as the 2003 Miss India Georgia and Miss India USA.
The second runner-up at the Miss India Worldwide competition in San Francisco in September, Nagarajan also won the "Best Talent" award in the national pageant for her rendition of a popular song from an Indian film and was presented the "Miss Beautiful Smile" award at the Miss India Worldwide pageant.
The pageants "promote the idea of having pride for your Indian heritage and pride for the country you live in," said Nagarajan, 19, an electrical engineering major who entered her first pageant two years ago.
Nagarajan is part of the India Club at Tech and is involved in a community organization that raises funds and sends them to India to provide education, food, clothing and shelter for underprivileged children.
