I never thought I'd be one to have a profile here, but then there's no harm in giving it a shot, so here it goes! Sorry for all the reading in advance!

I would describe myself as: shy, caring/loving, quiet, a slight perfectionist, talkative when I know the person but still an introvert until I really feel comfortable; yet at the same time fun, spontaneous, adventurous, and definitely quite juvenile at times but only when appropriate (everyone needs a break sometimes!) My friends tend to think likewise! However, I can also be a conservative and mature person when the occasion calls for it, but otherwise I like to stick to my random, witty, and just plain playful-fun side!

In my leisure time: I love to read, especially fictional novels! I also really love the classics and foreign literature such as Pride and Prejudice or A Fine Balance, respectively. I love music and whenever I listen to a hindi song in particular the first thing that comes to mind is dance! Since I was a child, I’ve loved to dance; in my childhood, I had learnt some bharat natyam and kathak and now on occasion I sometimes choreograph my own dances.

I consider myself a moderate person, although, there was a time I cared about nothing other than studying, but now I’ve realized everyone needs a social life! I like to strike a balance between spending time studying and socializing with friends/family. As much as I love reading and doing other educational activities, I also love to go out with my friends and relax; especially to the movies, out to dinner, and sometimes to a lounge/club.

If I weren’t at home, work, or school…then I’d probably be on vacation with my family, since they love to travel just as much as I do! We tend to try new places every year, but we always go to India every couple of years since we still have family there.

My view on both relationships in general and marriage: I believe that there is someone made for everyone, we just have to find them. And sometimes we have to cross paths with the “wrong” person(s) before we actually find the right person; meaning, sometimes you need to go through a few relationships before you really realize what you want in a partner. As for marriage, I believe it not only unites two people, but it also unites two families; and in my opinion, both families should be happy and accepting of the relationship before it proceeds to marriage. Personally, I don’t think I could marry someone my parents can’t love as a son, or whose parents can’t love me as a daughter; and it is just as important for him to love my parents as his own, as I would his.

The kind of person I'm looking for would be someone who is established in their career to a point where they can support a family. I would prefer someone who is outgoing, friendly, classy, and most of all affectionate, but knows how to control his emotions. He should most definitely love children, or at least want to have a family...

There are only four of us in my immediate family. My dad has a business in the High-Tech field and my mom works with him. My sister is in high school.

My family is somewhere between moderate to liberal. When it comes to religion we are not too traditional, our belief is, what goes around comes around - meaning do good and goodness will come to you! We also deeply believe in family values and maintaining our culture.

We are a close-knit family; most of my dad and mom's extended families reside within Canada and the USA. Although we don’t live in a joint family, we still meet and keep in touch quite constantly.

From myself, my parents only want me to be happy with whatever I do. Most of my family is quite successful, since they are either, engineers, doctors, and/or businesspeople. From my prospective partner, I believe they are looking for a son, since they have none of their own. By this I mean, they would like a son-in-law who loves and respects them as his own parents.
