I am an avid creative with a ton of interests and hobbies. Being an engineer by education and a UX designer by profession makes me both a left brain-right brain person. I believe I tread the thin line between analytical thinking and creativity.

I am an antithesis. I am equally comfortable knee-deep in mud peering at a beautiful flower or in heels, chandelier earrings, cocktail dress – the whole shebang. I am very acutely attuned to my surrounding, especially nature.

I love creative hobbies. My fav pass-times include painting, cooking up a storm, DIY projects, gardening, traveling, bonsai collection, bird watching and so on. I especially love working with my hands and creating something unique. [DIY Rocks!!]

I love nature and am open to ANY activity that puts me outdoors. Any time of the day (or night, seriously!)

On a normal day I love to snuggle in my sweats with a nice book. Or binge watch an intelligent TV series on Netflix (current obsession is House of Cards…seriously Underwoods get your act together!) No chick-flicks for me please!

For better or worse, I have a perennial shopping wish list ever ready in my head. Currently crushing on a pair of Manolo Blahniks and my newly acquired Prada sunglasses (

I am extremely protective of my loved ones and no effort is too much for doing something for them. I love surprising and pampering them. I keep my friend circle short. Quality over quantity. Most of the people I call friends, have been there in my life for an extended period of time and together we have overcome some really difficult times.

I am extremely independent. I only crave love and affection and once I feel I am getting those, I’d be that person you can wake up at 3am to ask for a favor.

Thats all folks!
