Hi !

I'm a PhD student in Art History, working past time in a museum of Fine Arts as an assistant curator.

Benevolent, I'm an easy-going person and open-minded.

I'm a classical Indian dancer (Odissi).
Love old fashion, dance, history, culture and folklore.

I love laughing, hang out with my family & friends ; wondering in flea markets ; traveling ; meeting new people and discovering new culture.

Allergy to cow's milk.
Gluten free.
Vegeterian meals at home.
Non-smoker.
