| About Me
|
|
|
I’m a thoughtful, grounded man who values kindness, honesty, meaningful connection and life's quiet joys. Friends describe me as insightful and dependable - someone who listens deeply and cares sincerely. I believe relationship should bring peace, warmth, and inspiration to both hearts. Together, I’d like to build something lasting - steady, joyful, and real. I blend emotional intelligence with introspection and intuitiveness. My heart walks softly in memory land, and mind flows through purpose and meaning in life. I am a soulful translator of silence, and a storyteller shaped by two continents 10,000 miles apart - bridging languages, time and love, sharing a life lived deeply. With tender heart and seeking mind, I turn sorrow into wisdom and love into light.
I do not practice a specific religion. Buddhism is a way of life - “middle way,” which originated 2,500+ years ago, and I feel it has influence in my life. I attend weekly Insight Meditation and some of day-long meditation retreats in Sacramento. I also attended a 4-day residential meditation retreat in Spirit Rock, Woodacre, CA. I grew up under influence of four major eastern religions and have exposure to western religions. I value spirituality and humanity. "Yesterday, I followed religions and obeyed rituals and beliefs. Today, I kneel to truth, follow only beauty, and obey only love." -- revised after my reading of Kahlil Gibran's writing.
I’m looking for a warm, compassionate woman who appreciates both meaningful conversation and simple shared moments. Someone kind-hearted, open-minded, and ready for a relationship built on trust, humor, and mutual respect. I believe love can grow beautifully at any stage of life when two people bring sincerity, laughter, and gentle care to each other’s days. |

How I spend my free time:
- having enjoyable and meaningful conversations and readings, some domestic and international travel, watching Hollywood and Bollywood Classic movies, listening to western and eastern classical music, songs, NPR and more, singing romantic, philosophical or melancholic songs and translate some of them in meaningful English expressing the lyrical beauty and preserving emotions and love in the originals, coloring mandala artwork drawings, relaxing nature walks, yoga classes, home-based exercises, insight and contemplative meditation in home or nature, caring for my garden - full of roses, azaleas, lilies, and magnolia and bay trees.

My Personality:
-
Intelligent, Intuitive, Caring
-
When out with friends, I'm usually:
-
The quiet one
-
What makes me laugh hardest:
-
Old TV shows: Seinfeld, Three's Company, Family Ties, many funny Hollywood and Bollywood movies
-
I'm happiest when:
-
I see joy and aliveness in other persons.
-
The things that annoy me are:
-
During my nature walks when by-passers talk loudly on their cell phone, whereas some by-passers bury their face into cell phone not paying attention while walking or walking their dogs :-). I have observed that during social visits and conversations, persons look into their cell phones and/or watch TV, which kept me wondering why have they invited me? :-) However, with my meditation practice, I turn my annoyance into amusement.
-
The best day of my life was when:
-
remembering granddaughter's laughter watching Laurel and Hardy movies and Disney's hilarious cartoons series, her joyful screaming during Manta Ray snorkeling, and her giggling while reading Garfield comics.
-
If I could have dinner with any three people, they would be:
-
1. Siddhartha Gautama - called The Buddha for being awaken and having reached to enlightenment. He showed the path during times of inner and outer turmoil, advocating peace, non-violence, and compassion.
2. Mahatma M. K. Gandhi who brought independence to India on 15th August 1947; showing the World that freedom from foreign rulers was achieved without violence and with peaceful protest.
3. J. Krishnamurti (1895-1986), "One of the Greatest Thinkers of the Age" as described by Dalai Lama.

So steal a little peace from this fleeting time."
