I'm originally from upstate New York, but have been working my way west through the whole college/med school/residency thing. I'm currently an ophthalmology resident in Portland, and while work tends to keep me pretty busy, I'm trying to take full advantage of all that the great northwest has to offer. Whenever possible, I'm spending my free time running, playing ultimate frisbee, eating out at yet another highly recommended restaurant or cart, hitting up Mt. Hood, or dominating at ping pong.

Eye-ballin'

Being game to try something new, traditional Indian dancing, trivia (yet I suck at Scrabble/Words With Friends...), and I've been told I make a pretty mean pizza dough

I'm guessing it's my perpetual smile, or my Harry Potter-esque scar right in the middle of my forehead

Books: Gora, Catch-22, Ophthalmology Basic and Clinical Science Course

Movies: The Royal Tenenbaums, I Heart Huckabees, 25th Hour, Pollock, Koyaanisqatsi, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, most things by Wes Anderson and the Coen brothers

TV: The West Wing, The Wire, Mad Men, Lost, Community, The Office (Steve Carrell era), Breaking Bad, Seinfeld, Modern Family

Music: DJ Shadow, Gorillaz, bongo flava, random stuff on thesixtyone.com, 90's hip hop, 90's alternative stuff

Food: I'm vegetarian, but this town has taken really good care of me so far. I like to cook, but cooking is so much better if there's someone to share the fruits of my labor!

Pizza, good beer, a good pair of sandals, some sort of daily physical activity, my movie collection, and a decent amount of sleep every night.

My next meal, the next TV show/movie to queue up, and of course eyeballs.

1/5 Fridays, I'm on call
1/5 Fridays, I'm doing something ridiculous at a bar/club downtown
3/5 Fridays, I'm kickin' back with my homies, watching a movie, eating dinner, or trampolining

I probably spent more time in college working with my South Asian dance troupe than I did on anything else.
Ahh, the good old days.

Any of the above sounds interesting enough that you'd like to grab a drink or meal sometime, you'd like to get down on one of my pseudo-athletic adventures (running, skiing, ultimate, ping pong, tennis, trampolining), or you have some interesting ideas of your own.
And, of course, feel free to say hi even if geographic constraints prohibit any of the above. Good conversation is always welcome!
