this, that, and some other stuff ...

Karuna Charities, the Asian Persuasion

travelling, writing, reading, picture taking, movie watching, discussing (world issues, politics, and of course all that Hollywood gossip in US weekly ;) )

Pride and Prejudice (most fav book of all), Interpreter of Maladies (It won the Pulitzer, and is a great book... read it!), The Namesake (another Lahiri book), Da Vinci Code (no I don't want to see the movie... it won't be as good as the book!), Harry Potter series.

office space (I've kicked a printer once, so this will always be a fav), the princess bride (best 'fairy tale' movie out there :)), the usual suspects (love that 'surprise' ending), garden state (Zach Braff was amazing), It's a Wonderful Life (a movie that will make you cry, laugh and smile, every time you see it!), the lake house (not the Japanese version), bridget jones (could it be Colin Firth? ok, yes and I love the P&P storyline), most fav of all is pride & prejudice BBC version (loved it...partly because of Colin Firth ;))

depends on my mood, right now it's...U2, gwen stefani, no doubt, coldplay, JT, black eyed peas, michael buble, nelly furtado

Heroes, Ugly Betty, Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy (don't watch much tv, but love these shows)

Pisces

I'm a spicy mix of the quirky and the mundane:
...work for an IT company, but don't own a tv (which I'm ok with except on Sunday & Thursday nights)
...live less than 3 miles from NYC, but haven't explored it to the fullest - yet!
...like to cook (and test out new recipes I find in cookbooks), but not for myself
...love to travel (esp. abroad), but not for work (which I used to do ALOT)...
...drive like Mario Andretti, but can't parallel park (cross this off... going to school in NYC, I've learned the art of the parallel park, but it still takes me a few minutes)
...hate the rain, but love thunderstorms!

Daughter. Sister. Friend. Student. Volunteer. Traveller. Movie fanatic. Exotic Foodie/Chocoholic. Spontaneous Day (or Night) Tripper. Adventurer. Writer. Brainstormer. Organizer.
Random (slightly geeky) Factoid: I actually like factory tours. ;) So, if you ever need someone to go with... call me!

Just came back from Egypt... It was amazing! Rode a camel, took a hot air balloon ride, Motorbiked across the desert, Snorkeled in the Red Sea, Parasailed twice in Sharm El-Sheik (great view), climbed Mt. Sinai (and was rewarded with an amazing sunrise!).

I'm looking to meet other cool and interesting people. This means you!

Also, if you own or work for a small business...drop me a line esp. if it's product related. I'd love to hear your story!
