| About Me
|
|
|
I’m an outgoing, curious and adventurous person who enjoys making the most of life—whether that means bushwalking, beach walks, trekking, camping and sport, or discovering new places, people, food and cultures. I have a deep appreciation for art, history and creativity and love spending time in galleries, exhibitions, historical sites and food events. At the same time, I value balance and inner growth; mindfulness and meditation have become an important part of my daily life, and I’m enjoying exploring and studying Buddhism as I learn to be more present and comfortable with stillness. Originally from India, I hold Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Marketing and have had the privilege of working and travelling extensively across Asia and Australia. My career has taken me through brand building, marketing and a long stint in finance, giving me a broad perspective on business and people. Above all, I enjoy meeting new people, building genuine relationships, learning from different experiences and approaching life with curiosity, openness and a sense of adventure.
I am looking for a partner who is grounded, content and comfortable with who she is, rather than driven by material possessions or worldly attachments. Someone warm and affectionate who enjoys hugs, laughter and bringing joy into everyday life. I’d love to share some interests and adventures together, while also respecting each other’s independence and personal space. Above all, I value someone who is thoughtful, caring, generous and emotionally grounded, with whom I can build a genuine, peaceful and fulfilling connection |

How I spend my free time:
- In my free time, you’ll often find me watching sport, spending some quiet time in meditation, or simply reflecting on life, happiness and what it really means to live well. I also enjoy getting lost in a good book at night—there’s something special about ending the day with a little quiet reflection and curiosity.

My Personality:
-
Creative, Adventurous, Caring
-
When out with friends, I'm usually:
-
The talkative one
-
What makes me laugh hardest:
-
Mr Bean
-
I'm happiest when:
-
I’m happiest when I’m laughing until my stomach hurts, whether it’s watching a good comedy, cracking a joke at a party, or sharing a spontaneous laugh with great company. I also get a real sense of satisfaction from a good workout—especially when I push myself and achieve a goal I’ve been working towards. And sometimes, nothing beats being out in the wilderness, breathing in the fresh air and simply laughing out loud with the sheer joy of being alive.
-
The things that annoy me are:
-
I’m pretty easygoing, but I’ll admit I have a few little quirks! I like people to be reasonably punctual—if you say 10am, I’m secretly hoping for 10am rather than 10:30. I also appreciate a clean, tidy and organised home, where things are put back where they belong. Untidy spaces, damp clothes left to dry forever, a neglected fridge or car, and linen that has seen better days can test my patience! Nothing too serious though—I’m much more interested in laughing about life than getting worked up about the little things.
-
The best day of my life was when:
-
One of the most unforgettable days of my life was in 1989, when I hiked down into the Grand Canyon to see the Colorado River and then climbed all the way back up in time to catch a Greyhound bus, as I had nowhere to stay in Flagstaff! The scale and beauty of the canyon were breathtaking—the towering, sculpted rock walls, the changing colours and the sheer sense of being surrounded by something so ancient and immense. It was an adventure I’ll never forget, and to this day, the Grand Canyon remains one of the simplest and most spectacular wonders I have ever experienced.
-
If I could have dinner with any three people, they would be:
-
If I could have dinner with three people from any time in history, my choices would be the Dalai Lama, Michael Jordan and Nelson Mandela. I’m currently exploring Buddhism and mindfulness, so I would love to sit with the Dalai Lama and understand what gives him such a sense of happiness, contentment and inner peace. Michael Jordan would be my second choice. I regard him as one of the greatest athletes the world has ever produced—extraordinarily gifted, energetic and disciplined. I’d love to hear what drove him to push himself so relentlessly and what motivated him to achieve greatness in basketball. My third choice would be Nelson Mandela, whose life I find deeply inspiring. After spending 27 years in prison, he emerged with the determination to help build a free and more equal South Africa. I would love to hear his personal story, understand what sustained his conviction through those years, and explore what freedom, forgiveness and justice ultimately meant to him.

I’m not looking to choose one over the other; rather, I appreciate what each has taught me and remain curious about deepening my meditation practice and exploring a greater sense of awareness, peace and mindfulness.
