I like exploring new places and I moved to the UK a few years ago. I'm from India and I live in the small town of Northampton now.

I love Northampton and I work as a Software Engineer from home. I have previously worked as a Health and Social Care Worker.

I cherish the moments and opportunities to be able to connect with people from all walks of life. I still hangout at the University of Northampton on Mondays and Match days at the Waterside campus🍃

I'm a foodie and I have been cooking almost every day since I moved here. I have found a love for the oven and I like roasting different vegetables and meats🍖🥗

I like cooking experiments and have foraged on blackberries in the summer and still had some leftovers which I tried to make it into a wine🍇

I enjoy the simplest things in life; the smell of fresh coffee in the morning, buying local fruits and vegetables from the farmers market, going to the church and the Uni to hangout with my friends. I like to go for walks and sometimes, we play football at the nearby Racecourse park. ⚽

I am blessed with an awesome bunch of friends in Northampton and we explore different experiences in and around town. Do let me know if you ever find yourself in Northampton,🥂🌌

Sometimes, I really miss the life I had back in India; a good workout or a swim in the river, getting through monday blues and solving that final work task just before the weekend, that smile on my Amma's face when I reach home after a trip. I can't wait to visit my hometown in India❤️. I want to enjoy a casual game of football with my friends at the turf and try out new restaurants in town. 🌯🍛🍜

I like meeting new people and exploring different perspectives! I have good friends in India couchsurfing and would love to connect you with the India CS community, if you find yourself in Kerala or any other state in India.

Do reach out to me if you're looking for a host in Northampton, UK or Kerala, India.

Cheers!

Music, Movies, and Books

I feel music is amazing regardless of its language! Music is magical ⭐😍
Some of my favourite artists are AR Rahman, Lady Gaga, Avril Lavigne, Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, Zayn, Swedish House Mafia, Akon, Eminem, Linkin Park, Ed Sheeran, Bijibal, Govind Vasantha, Momina Mustehsan, Vishal Bharadwaj, Lorde, MC Couper....the list goes on...

When I watch a movie, I listen to its soundtrack for weeks! That's the best way to find new music. I'm always up for finding my new favourite song🎶 💜

My favourite author from childhood is Dan Brown, his books Da Vinci code and Digital Fortress are my favourites. I like a good crime thriller book and Agatha Christie's ABC Murders is still in my memory. I've found help in a couple of self-help books and for me, they are hard to pick up, they've opened my mind🍃

My favourite film maker is Lijo Jose Pellissery and his films like Angamaly Diaries, Ee Ma You, Amen and Churuli are the ones I would re-watch any day 🌬️
