I'm a third year medical student in Atlanta. I was born and raised in GA w/ lots of trips to India, and I still visit as often as possible. I have two dogs, who are basically my children. I am quite outspoken, honest, and frank, so if you ask, I will tell you what I really think. I try my best to be as open-minded as possible and to respect people's differences, whether I agree or not.
I really want to travel all over the world, a dream trip would be to hike the Himalayas or trek through central America.
I can cook pretty well, both Indian and other dishes, and I'm very family-oriented. My dad's from AP, and my mom's from Karnataka. I am very fluent in Kannada and am trying to learn Telugu. I would love to learn Hindi, and took a semester of it in undergrad, but right now, I have to stick to movies w/ subtitles.
I'm not looking to get married right this moment, but also no longer date people who don't have long-term potential. My best friend is already married and just had her first child, so it's time for me to at least get more serious.
I'm looking for a laid-back, caring, open-minded guy, who's well-educated and ambitious, as am I. I look at marriage as a partnership, and I want someone who sees it the same way, someone who respects me and my opinion and believes in compromise. Basically, I want someone who is as committed as I am. I would prefer someone who was has been in the US for a long time and is well acclimated here. He must love dogs because I will always have at least one.

My parents are both physicians, who completed their education and moved to the US from India over 30 years ago. I have two sisters, and I’m the middle child. My older sister is a doctor and is recently married. My younger sister is in business/accounting. My family is the thing I am most grateful for. We are very close, both here and in India. The usual craziness is there, but at the end of the day, we all love each other. My parents are very simple people, and they’ve made sure I know what is important in life. They taught me not to be impressed by material things, but to look for sincerity and loyalty in those who I surround myself with.
