Hi there! I'm 24yo (he/him) and looking to make a few new connections that have shared interests. I'm a CS PhD student. Making genuine connections online could be hard so I'll try my best to give some flavor about my personality and who I'm as a person through this post.

I'm passionate about STEM research, education, and the power of effective communication. I like my job and it gives a bit of purpose to my life. Outside of research, there are a couple of things that make me happy: I really like biking (I bike whenever I can, but mostly on weekends), dancing (I'm crazy about Bollywood music. If you play the music, you will probably see me dancing), reading (mostly self-help, science fiction, and facts), bookstores, working out, and all sorts of outdoorsy stuff. I absolutely love going for solo long walks and catching sunsets /sunrise.

I believe in enjoying little things in life and I'm always grateful for what I have. I consider myself a kind, thoughtful, and caring person. I love having deep meaningful conversations about life and anything related to making this world a better place. I like listening to others (I think good listening is a skill that we must develop) and making them feel good about themselves when they are talking to me. You will see me smiling most of the time (sometimes I pass smiles to strangers too).

I'm looking for like-minded friends who would enjoy hanging out! If you feel we might share the same wavelength, please send me a chat introducing yourself :)
