I grew up in Lucknow, India and belong to a simple and progressive nuclear family. (Caste is not important). I am a blend of traditional and modern values and try to adopt the best from both worlds.My early childhood was spent close to nature and forests with some interesting life-experiences. I have lived in various cities in India and the US. This exposure has helped me learn more about the world and also about myself. Would love for my partner to have some level of international exposure (this is not a deal-breaker though)

Personality:
I have an introverted and calm personality and prefer a few but close connections. My top personality traits are conscientiousness and agreeableness. I tend to get along well with people who are introverted and calm. My top enneagram types are 9 (easygoing, non-judgmental, accepting of others), 5(cerebral, perceptive, competent and original) , 7(adventurous, high-energy, resilient and enthusiastic)


Views on... more Relationship:
I believe in equality and sharing responsibilities fairly. A rich life is woven from great happiness and great disasters, small pleasures and minor irritations. I think relationships go through three phases. It starts out with romance, then it progresses into conflict and then finally it reposes into commitment. This is similar to a rose plant blooming, growing thorns and then deepening its roots in the soil. I am hoping to find someone who can work together with me through these phases to create a fulfilling and long-lasting bond. Open communication, patience, kindness, empathy and commitment are key to creating this bond. Romance would endure when we make each other feel valued and be attuned to each others feelings and needs amid the monotonicity of life.


Goals and Passion:
I have been academically inclined all my life and am currently working in the field of Artificial Intelligence at a big tech firm. I received my Masters degree in Computer Science from a top US school and received my Bachelors in Computer Science from an IIT. If I could go back in time, Id have liked to get a PhD but since my job offers some research experience I dont mind it. I am very driven towards my goals and am looking for someone who can nurture me and support me in becoming a world expert in my domain. I am career-driven and ambitious but also want to lead a balanced life and be a good partner and father.


Interests and Hobbies:
I love experimenting with cooking and scouting healthy food. I invented my own recipe for making a healthy smoothie. Difficult to find all ingredients here in India. I am also learning to play the piano from Youtube. Every once in a while, I like to travel and go on nature hikes. I prefer the less popular off-beat hidden places than popular tourist destinations. Some other things which I enjoy are photography (Aim to build a business out of it someday.), listening to audio-books. I am not excited about movies or mindless TV shows.

If this makes you feel like you want to dive into my world then I would love to hear from you!
