6 am: Tringggg...there
rings my alarm clock. The heart wishes to cuddle for 10 more minutes; the mind doesn’t
want to miss the morning jog. 7 am: It’s the routine cereal for breakfast;
the heart wants a hamburger with extra cheese; the mind reinstates that a
burger may nullify the work out. 8 am: the heart wants to drive a Porsche
to work; the mind quotes the rising gas prices. 9 am: I kick start the
day with conference calls and meetings; the heart wishes to catch some more
sleep; the mind reviews the client background, needs, and resources. 5 pm: My
heart pedals hard for a 28 year old with little managerial experience; my mind
portrays me as a confident, knowledgeable, and open minded professional. 8 pm:
I am back to home; the heart wishes to spend quality time with my
folks; the mind mulls over tomorrow’s presentation. The journey of life
encompasses similar instances that mark the indecision - to either be zealous
enough to go with the heart or be analytical enough to go with the mind.
Thankfully, both my heart and mind are in sync on one of the most important
decision of my life - to choose my Mrs Right :)
Born
in a traditional Indian family, I was nurtured with basic Indian values by my
parents: to be honest with every job, to never give up, to help the needy, and
to lead a meaningful life for the benefit of my family and society. These
values sum up the principles that I keep close to my heart and the
very rules govern my every plan and its execution. I treat each day as a
bundle of opportunities- to learn, to explore, and to grow. I can safely say
that I have made optimal use of these opportunities and have grown immensely on
every facet of my persona (at least I try to….).
Education
is given utmost priority in my family and I went to the best schools in India
and the US. Professionally, I am ambitious and always strive for challenging the
obvious (I hope my MBA professors are listening). Currently I am making the
most of my full-time job in Chicago, IL but I intend to start my own chain of
restaurants soon - once the time is right (so if you love food : brownie points
for you…if you know how to cook : triple brownie points for you).
Two
things that I love : Mouth-watering kebabs and Indian Music
Two
things that I hate : Hypocrisy and Hyper-tension
Now
the fun stuff….
I
sing: I was the lead singer of two rock bands : we sang fusion rock. We broke
naturally as we moved out to different places for work, but my heart still
pumps to go back and sing my throat out.
I
act: While music connected me with people, dramatics acquainted me with the
stark realities. I have a penchant for relating to the characters that I
portray and have gradually become more sensitive and less discriminatory towards
people from ethnically and racially diverse backgrounds.

I
train: fitness was not my cup of tea until my friends acquainted me with the
idea of working-out. I train daily and I am on a weight loosing spree for the last
6 months (See what marriage plans can do to you). I have lost 20 pounds since I
started training.
I
cook: Yeah! Thanks to my mom, I can cook Indian and Italian.
I
dance: and I am very bad at that.
I
joke: Laughter is infectious and I believe it to be the best aphrodisiac. My
friends tell me that I am the goofiest characters you will ever find on planet
earth.
What
are my expectations from my Mrs. Right?
If
you enjoyed reading until this point, then we should talk. No-one is perfect and
I am no-one (kidding). I am just looking for a normal girl who shares similar family
values, is well educated, has a positive attitude towards life and understands
the meaning of hard-work. Does that sounds like you?
