ABOUT ME

Anyway, in 2009 I moved from Boston to Boulder. The first thing you'll learn about me is that I love tea and drink about 6 cups a day. I'm a tea snob, in fact.

I'm also passionate about music- I'm learning mando now, I grew up playing harmonium and singing Indian classical. Politics, theatre, art, and activism have a meaningful place in my life, as does service, without which I don't feel complete. And I love animals of all varieties. Come to think of it, I love people of all varieties-- much like pets, the ones that behave badly are usually just in need of some love and training.

PHILOSOPHY

With them the seed of Wisdom did I sow,
And with mine own hand wrought to make it grow;
And this was all the Harvest that I reap'd--
"I came like Water, and like Wind I go."

-The Rubaiyat

By Omar Khayyam

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's all kind of amazing, isn't it?

Teach, Learn, Share

I can cook great food, especially North Indian food. Other than that, I love to talk to almost anyone about almost anything. I'm always committed to hearing opinions, even if they're different from my own, especially if it's in a positive environment of growth and joyfulness.
