CURRENT MISSION

to get busy living, or get busy dying!..

ABOUT ME

What can I say about me?...I'm originally from Bombay, but have lived in Germany, US and Switzerland in the last 10 years. Basel, Switzerland has been my home for 7 years.

I'm all about enjoying life! I love meeting new people and having new experiences. I think life can be boring if you stay in your comfort zone and never try anything new. So I'm extremely open-minded and free spirited, and always looking to challenge myself with adventure. Sometimes it gets me into trouble, but always fun trouble :)

I'm not shy at all, and usually say what it is that I'm thinking. I'm confident that I can get along with anyone, because we are all interesting in one way or another, and everyone has a story to tell. I like to dress up, go out and enjoy nightlife. But I can also just chill, have dinner, wine and good conversation.

Life is short, we must all enjoy the moment...

PHILOSOPHY

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. -1 Corinthians 4-7
