I'll start with my weakness: I'm a horrible story/joke teller.
My strength: I LOVE to laugh!

My interests run the gamut - sports, art, music, theater, architecture, religions, faiths, world events and politics and how all of these things are related.
If I have an opinion on something, I speak fairly openly about it.
I also have this odd 'talent' of remembering random things about people.
To the distress of many mothers, infants and toddlers love interacting with me in the grocery store lines and I love playing with them, too.
Oh yeah... and I'm a laid-back, down-to-earth, fun-loving, responsible, and independent gal.

On life attitude:
Everything in life is a choice - it can either be a chore or a blessing. I strive to pick the blessing, though it's sometimes the hardest thing to do!

Professional life:
I am extremely fortunate in that I thoroughly enjoy my work. My professional goals are multi-faceted and includes owning an engineering/construction/consulting firm - I haven't quite decided which spin to take yet. Currently, I design building systems and manage building construction projects.

My partner in crime:
Someone I can laugh at... I mean WITH... for the rest of our lives. We should also be on the same wave-length when it comes to faith and family. Someone with a good head on his shoulders and common sense, yet in touch with his inner child. And did I mention a sense of humor? In the end, you just want to be with the one that makes you laugh. Know what I mean?

I'd like to thank my loving, tight-knit, and moderately liberal family. My father and mother immigrated from Kerala to the US in the 1970s. They worked hard to nourish my younger sister, brother and myself, miraculously instilling in us a unique blend of Malayalee values and traditions with Western culture. I wouldn't be the person I am today if it were not for the support and strength of my family - and for them, I am wholeheartedly thankful. (An exerpt my acceptance sppech in the event of my winning an Oscar.... )
