A Punjabi (Khatri/Arora/Madan though caste and religion don't matter to me), Indian, graduated with a full-time MBA at UCLA Anderson Los Angeles in the US (June 2020). Childhood was in Jalandhar and schooling had been in convent/residential (ICSE/ CBSE), in one of the best schools in India and have been throughout topper. Was School Captain, participated in and won many debate and quiz competitions. 10th class onward till now, MBA (was a Dean's Scholar), my studies have been with merit scholarships.

Traveled across India, Europe, Singapore & US. Living since middle school at different places away from the comfort zone of home made me adaptable to different environments/cultures.

Hindu and a Deist, a non-ritualistic but strong believer in God, respect all faiths but practice none in routine, logical, and spiritually inclined. Firmly believe that being human is the most important trait that a person is expected to carry and rest all (benevolent with all the synonyms etc) fall in line automatically to lead a meaningful life. Grounded, easy-going, cheerful, fun-loving, health-conscious, ambitious, passionate about my work, moderate lifestyle, not a show-off kind of person, responsible and believe in a committed relationship. To me, integrity and humility in professional, as well as personal life, is fundamental for a healthy life. Would rather prefer to compete with own self than others. I look for life partner who shares my values.

Earlier a Veggie and teetotaler, recently took to occasional Pollo-Pescetarian food (don't cook at home) and a drink only socially. Intoxicants strictly never. Outgoing but not a keen party buff, when free Spend time reading, often hitting gym/jogging, being with friends and catching up with happenings around. Am more comfortable engaging in thoughtful talk. Love playing tennis and am a soccer & Formula-1 fan. Yet to learn good cooking : ). Zero family medical history, 20/20 vision.

Would wish my life partner to be working, minimum bachelor's, someone who prefers to be equals and completes me (No one is perfect and I have my share of flaws). What we are and we do is more important than what others are and they do, I believe. Prefer not to measure my life with a scale that of others'. My search is for my best friend as well a life partner to build and celebrate life together and it depends if and how fast we get to appreciate each other's likes, dislikes, priorities, preferences and aspirations to exchange vows.
