Friendly. Thoughtful. Health-conscious. Kind. Smart - these are some of the qualities that you may notice if you get to know me. Needless to say, you will also notice some qualities that are not quite as appealing.

Paraphrasing a quote I read a while back - "the right person isn't always someone who is happy with you. But is also someone who isn't afraid being unhappy with you." Although this sounds idealistic, I think it has to be true to some extent for a relationship to work. Do you disagree? Let's talk about it. May be it will turn into an interesting conversation.

I enjoy hanging out with small group of friends. Like to spend my weekends outdoor; either camping or hiking in one of the beautiful parks in California.

Right now, I am renovating the kitchen myself and plan to sell my house soon. Will be looking to move to the city or to Berkeley.

analytical thinking - my job requires and enhances this skill of mine.

reading maps - something about maps always fascinates me. May be it's the excitement in finding whether I am there yet!

hand-eye coordination - hitting a ball with a bat is what I was doing for most of my first 20 years of my life.

staying objective during a crisis, and

procrastinating boring chores (saved my best skill for last!).

I don't know. Who asks this question when meeting someone for the first time?? "By the way, what were you looking at?"

Here is a random list of things that I like:
TedTalks
Greek Cuisine
Coldplay
How I Met Your Mother
Several documentaries in NetFlix. Hard to pick a few.
Eric Clapton
80s Indian Songs.
Italian Cuisine
The Road Less Traveled by Scott Peck
3 Doors Down
Siddhartha by Herman Hesse
Lumineers

Healthy food - doesn't even have to taste great.

Internet - I get my news, facts, and entertainment from the internet.

Running water - Camping in a remote area can be fun only for few days.

Maps - I don't use GPS but I like to look at maps wherever I go. I keep a copy of my house's floor plan stuck on the refrigerator (kidding!).

My Sunglasses (update: this turned out to be a lie. I lost my glasses a month back and I still haven't replaced it.)

Pandora

....what I want to be doing in the next 3 to 6 months. It will usually include planning a trip, acquiring a skill or a hobby, or taking the next step in my career.

Camping or having dinner or watching a movie with friend(s).

If I am not doing any of the above, then I'll usually hit the gym and be excited about not having to wait to get the bench or the machine that I want to use since the place is usually empty on friday evenings.

I will be more willing to admit my most private things in a face-to-face conversation. I think it's a good way to build trust and connect with someone. Why spoil it by posting it online?

Okay, i have found something that i am willing to share here. I use this website to also discover good music. When i like someone's profile i go listen to that person's favorite band/artists.

you have gotten this far. :)
