Hi there! Born in Delhi, I was brought up in Dehradun and West UP with traditional Indian middle-class values with a focus on pursuing academic and professional excellence. Having left home at the age of 16, I have had diverse experiences across different geographies with people from various backgrounds that have imbibed me with a very liberal mentality. Greatly adaptable, I am an easy-going person with a stoic disposition who is straightforward and sincere in his interactions with others. My two guiding principles - 'Live and let live and 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you probably tell you everything about how I deal with people and situations.

An explorer at heart, literally no month goes by without me traveling to someplace new. My love for history, as well as gorgeous landscapes, means these destinations are either cultural hubs or places of raw natural beauty.

I'm currently a Data Scientist at Amazon and live in central London, having recently moved here from Seattle. Outside of work, my days are filled with hobbies such as biking, yoga, playing the guitar, calligraphy, and reading non-fiction books. I'm living alone for the first time in my life which has necessitated learning skills like cooking and baking (I can't eat dinner without dessert!)

Nobody's perfect, so here are my flaws (work in progress!): I procrastinate often. I'm prone to ruthless rationality which sometimes makes me oblivious to other people's feelings and viewpoints. When I'm upset I tend to retreat into myself, and so I'm looking for someone who is adept at communicating.
