I grew up in Bombay within a nuclear, Mallu family. Dad's retired after a career in imports. Mom's a double graduate and a retired school teacher; I wasn't the brightest bulb in the class and often brought home lousy grades. So as you can imagine, my rear end is well acquainted with the chapati belan, belts and broomsticks.
After moving away from Bombay, I discovered the joys of travelling and have turned into a quasi-hippie. I intersperse my life with as many outings I can manage.
I hold a degree in Engineering from Xaviers and topped my MBA class from Great Lakes (not on account of belts and belans this time). I am now the MENA Head of Last Mile at Carrefour and I'm loving it here in Dubai.
I am fascinated by astronomy, physics, psychology and language. Astronomy because there is nothing as satisfyingly humbling as gazing at the stars, physics because it helps us comprehend the fabric underlying reality, psychology because few things (that we know... more of) are as fascinating and complex as the human mind, and language coz diction is dope, yo!
I like to experiment with playing the piano, sketching, clay modeling, rubik's cubes, poker strategies and staring into walls. None of those things tend to yield any tangible results.
I read often; my favourite authors are Orwell, Dawkins, Ayn Rand, Michael Crichton and Marjane Satrapi. People who inspire me include Einstein, Da Vinci, Marx, Gandhi, Darwin, Richard Feynman, Edward Bernays, Neil DeGrasse Tyson and Elon Musk.
Now for the important bit - About You: You are curious about the world around you. You may struggle with small talk, but when it comes to real conversation, no topic from Science to Arts to Business is off limits. You can spell. Take a joke and aren't easily offended. For you, travel, music, adventure and sarcasm are the spices of life. You're smart, but not quite sure of it. You want to fill your life with new experiences, not sit at home and make rotis, if you know what I mean. Relate? Then hit me up. The rest is negotiable.
Where do I see us a few years on? Bantering about trivial and not-so-trivial matters over a steaming cup of Matcha. And on vacations, we'd do something stupid like jumping out of airplanes or go swimming with the orcas.
