I am a chartered accountant by profession. I've lived in Abu Dhabi, Mangalore and Bangalore. Since the lockdown I've been staying with my parents in a small beautiful village called Shankarpura (11 km from udupi and 47 from mangalore). It's really peaceful here in the midst of nature. We do a little gardening too. There is a nice hill nearby and it makes a good evening trekking stop. The beach is not far away too.

I'm an ambivert. I appreciate a healthy mix of social time and personal time. I'm not much of a party person. Though I can be at times when I'm comfortable with the people. I prefer one on one connections and intellectual conversation. Conversations of life and beliefs and culture. Stories from afar or travel and adventure and mishaps. I would like to understand your perspective of your role in the cosmos.

I work Monday to Fridays. I'm usually free on the weekends.
