I have been brought up with liberal family values. I have excelled in my academics and currently working in Europe (doing my doctorate in Astrophysics). A good companionship for me is where we both can grow as individuals, as well as partners to achieve our goals in life. Keeping each other on their toes but also providing warmth. Attributes of a friend, a mentor, a travel buddy, a roommate, and of a home, defines a 'life-partner' for me. I believe relationships are nurtured with mutual respect toward each other beliefs and differences too. Even though personal space is necessary for any relationship, there should be the comfort to be dependable and vulnerable because we are humans, not robots! I believe in communication, it is indeed the key.I am not religious but I do respect and value all cultures, religions, their practices. At the same time, I'm strongly against irrational and baseless customs. I am passionate about traveling and trying to learn new things while exploring. I live... more a minimalist lifestyle and practice zero wastage for everything in day-to-day life. My idea of fun is to go out and experience everything.From performing arts to abstract ones, mountains, kayaking, travel, photography, gardening, karaoke, percussion fan, minimalism, zero waste, a beginner at Ukulele & love to jam, Latin music makes me groove, Garba is stressbuster: me in a nutshell!Looking for someone who is opinionated; intellectually, socially, and emotionally aware. Someone who is confident in his skin, has a good sense of humor, and is witty. In short, with whom even spending a mundane Sunday doing household chores, sounds like a plan.I want a close-circle wedding.
