About Me

CURRENT MISSION

meet cool people...what else?

ABOUT ME

I'm Indian, grew up in Saudi Arabia, and did all my schooling from high school onwards in the US. I have now moved to Cambridge, England and am excited about experiencing life in a new country! I'm friendly, easy-going, and pretty much up for anything (as long as it won't get me killed or put in jail)

PHILOSOPHY

Life's too short to get all bent out of shape over little things.
