Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Just trying to figure out how to make the world a better place, one person at a time. Starting with me.
ABOUT ME
I was born in India, where I lived for about a year or two. My family then moved to Germany for 7 years where I attended Catholic School! (Thats character building right there). For the last 8 years I've been living with my family in Calgary. I lived to years in Halifax, and have moved on to Ottawa, capital of out beautiful country. Places I've visited include Pakistan, England, Montreal, Vancouver, Toronto and Saskatoon.
My family consists of 4 siblings, so I can handle just about any living situation.
PHILOSOPHY
I'm a firm believer in the everlasting power of the human spirit to prevail. I think religions and other institutions are a means that many people need in order to believe that life is fair, and also to be encouraged to do good things for one another, but its not the only means. To me, science and God aren't mutually exclusive.
I believe that being happy and making other people's lives happier is what the purpose of MY life is, and everyone else can choose their own purpose as they see fit. ^_^
