Aries

I work in corporate venturing and innovation at a large Indian conglomerate out of Bombay, India. Before this, I completed my Masters degree in Comparative Media Studies at MIT where I worked with a media convergence think tank. I previously obtained undergraduate degrees in business, education and film, while simultaneously working in different capacities across the Indian mediascape.

I'm fun loving, trusting, sensitive, moody, curious, zany and passionate. I love meeting new people with interests and passions different from mine, but I often need stretches of solitude. I enjoy hugs, languid afternoons in bookstores, picnics by the river, love stories with happy endings, orange sunsets, railway stations, Pringles Sour Cream and Onion chips, chicken a la Kiev, the color red, Acqua Di Parma, masala tea, oxidized silver, buying stuff on 'sale', sunshine...

I have just been through a traumatic end to a 4 year long term committed relationship, so I'm not sure what I am ready for or interested in, at this point. But in general, I guess I tend to be physically attracted to younger, intelligent twinks, slightly edgy, beautiful freaks, people that are very individualistic and talented. They might on occassion, be nerdy, shy, awkward or introverted. But more than looks, personality, intelligence or any other attribute, I have come to value kindness in the people I associate with.
