I work in tech and have a great job. I write code to de-clutter your life and make it simpler and you don't even know it. When I'm not knee deep in logic, I switch to my right brain to make music (http://soundcloud.com/dreamtalk). I also play the drums for The February Riot (http://www.reverbnation.com/thefebruaryriot). Yes I know, shameless plugs but check us out, we might be your new favorite. I'm exploring other mediums as well. In my free time I try to be as creative as I can.

Love checking out new cities, my new hobby is to visit a new city at least every two months, preferably all by myself. On weekdays I alternate between gym and yoga to keep my mind-body balance but occasionally pig out at food trucks. Who can resist the charm of JapaCurry, right? I often go to the movies alone and I don't think that it's weird at all. If you are looking for some company to offbeat films/film festivals, you are in the right place.

Being authentic, genuine and independent are very important to me. Self-improvement and pushing my boundaries is something that I always look forward to. I'm wise beyond my years but dick and fart jokes are always welcome. I have an active social life but occasionally stay home and cook some great food for the roomies. I try to discover band names in everyday mundane conversations.

Discovering the various phases of life and becoming wiser through time. Figuring out the answers to the eternal questions by living, learning and reflecting. At this point, I'm expanding my social circle. I love meeting new and interesting people, this is where OkCupid comes into the picture. As they say, everyone has a story to tell.

I love to make people laugh. I tend to open up quicker than the average guy and pretty soon can hook you into a interesting conversation. Legend has it that I'm one of the most chill guys you'll ever meet. Despite this I'm very driven towards my goals and can go from 0 to 60 before you can say blueberry pancake.

People say that I'm a warm person and that I have a philosophical sense of humor. People also notice that I smile at them often.

I read a lot of non-fiction and articles. I'm very interested in psychology and human behavior. Most favorite authors include Kerouac, Jung, Nietzsche, Camus, Sartre, Joe Campbell, Sri Aurobindo, Murakami, Hunter S Thompson. Some of my all time favorites books are Gibran's The Prophet, The Great Gatsby, Notes from the Underground, The Rum Diary, Waggoner's Lucid Dreaming, The Rig Veda, Klostermaier's Nature of Nature, Radhakrishnan's Indian Philosophy. Stories about personal journeys and road novels fascinate me.

Seminal bands like The Velvet Underground, The Clash, Fugazi, Television, Pavement, The Beatles, Panda Bear, Cocteau Twins, Pink Floyd, The Smiths, The Cure, M83... and the bands that they have inspired. Right now I'm stuck on Cloud Nothings and Bohren & der Club of Gore.

I'm obsessed with films. I enjoy Tarkovsky, Bergman, Godard, Kubrick, Fellini, Resnais, Rohmer, Woody Allen, Cassavettes, Lars Von Trier, Louis Malle, Kim Ki-Duk, Koreeda, Majid Majidi, Olmi, Chris Marker, Wong Kar Wai, Bertolucci, Coppola, Linklater (Waking Life is probably my all time favorite tied with My Dinner with Andre), Jean Pierre Jeunet, Fincher, Charlie Kaufman, Michel Gondry, drug films, Saved!, SLC Punk!, High Fidelity, Sans Soleil, Christopher Guest(Waiting for Guffman), My Winnipeg, Mumblecore, Duplass brothers, Bujalski, Surreal movies.. its just goes...

I don't have a TV but Netflix keeps me up to date with That Mitchell and Webb Look, Entourage, Flight of the Conchords and The Mighty Boosh.

Have you heard of Chettinad? That's my favorite cusine. I'll make you an awesome biryani sometime. Also love German/polish sausages and Sushi.

None, I'm not very attached to things.

The Archetypes, The Known, The Unknown and everything in between and most importantly how my roommate's cat understands perfect English.

Having a drink with friends, making music, watching a TED talk, Bikram Yoga, Karaoke, shaking my booty to blackened death metal or planning my weekend getaway.

My SSN is 626-78-7762.

You have made peace with yourself, you have seen life's ups and downs and you have the just right amount of crazy in you.
