Much to my friend's great recommendations of this site, I'm here! Moved recently to the U.S. and am still figuring my way around here. Every day's new and at the end of the day it's essential that I look back and ponder if I learnt something new or challenged myself through the day.

I'm a sucker for good food and travel. I'd like to consider myself as compassionate and kind. I'm immensely patient (usually) and as much as people may try to push my buttons, it's much to their vain. I have a loud, addictive laughter and have been told by friends back home that that's all they miss about me!

I tend to think a lot and it's important for me to get my space to reflect and analyze. Having said that, quality time matters for me and when I meet my closest friends I insist that they don't play with their damn i-phones or sms!!! I like being challenged in my thought process and once I set my mind and heart on something, I get out there and get it!

I read people fairly well and believe that often actions speak louder than words. It doesn't take me much time to tune into some of your thoughts and often on a train or the bus or a class, I usually analyze people a lot (no, I'm not psychic or a freak - I don't stare!!!). My heart always goes out to the elderly, the youngest and animals...

A Masters student graduating soon - trying to figure out what my next steps should be, admiring the beauty of Spring, traveling and exploring new regions, trying to knock off the extra kilos and volunteering.

Listening to people rant and allow them to share their frustrations and their happiness. My patience plays in here and I can just sit and listen to people talk endlessly (if they make some sense that is!).

Looking after pets and animals. I don't think twice about petting a friendly, stray dog or cat. I think caring for animals brings a different kind of dimension to your personality. If you love animals, you definitely get brownie pts. from me!

Making the best chocolate sauce ever! Trust me on that.

My smile and infectious, loud laugh!

Disclaimer - I'm terrible at deciding my 'favorite'. The only favorite thing of mine is my favorite color which is BLUE. Any shade of blue, any hue of it and it's my top choice!

Books - The Kite Runner, The Namesake, Speeches that changed the world, The Animal Farm and so many more that I'm not doing justice to by not being able to remember!

Movies - Any crazy bollywood, Indian film (no, Slumdog millionaire is NOT an Indian film and all bollywood films don't revolve around running around trees and dancing); Sound of Music, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (grew up watching those 2); Finding Nemo; To Sir, with Love; Sister Act; My Big Fat Greek Wedding; LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL (all time fav.); Braveheart; Pulp Fiction

Music - Any world music is perfect from any part of the world. Not into heavy metal or rock.

Food - As long as it has curry, is spicy, is vegetarian and gives me a craving it's perfect (the list ranges from Thai to Indian to Ethiopian to Greek)

1) Family
2) Desserts
3) Music
4) Color
5) A good sleep
6) Conviction & belief

Getting to my ideal career - which entails working in international development, spending 3 months of the year in India, 3 months on the ground in the field, 3 months driving policy in the headquarters of a multilateral and the final 3 teaching at a university all of what I learned in the past 9 months!

But besides that I also think a lot about my day, people and their past baggage and my potential to do all I can and do it well!

depends on what my mood is... Ranges from staying in, curled up listening to some music, watching something interesting or reading to being out with friends over a good meal or a movie. Going out to a club doesn't happen often owing to the city I live in but I'd be up for it as long as I have good, fun-loving people and fantastic music!

is for you to discover for yourself.. unravel some of my mysteries! No point me telling you everything - there have to be some incentives after all!

I haven't quite yet decided what to make of this site and the entire 'match' concept and if I'd want some one with a 80% match or a 50, for all you know opposites attract really well too. So I'm not going to take this match concept seriously.

Message me if something makes you smile while you read what I've written or if your gut feeling tells you to or if you just feel like it and want to see where this goes!
