Officially Kickstarting the search for my lady

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 write: http://varun-verma.blogspot.com/ - Please let me have your feedback.

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?
