I have never been married, childfree and living in the hope of finding a life partner who does not pay heed to her reproductive powers, always been and is childfree, and focuses on herself and her life goals instead.

I was born Catholic, into a state which is in a perennial fiscal deficit from an economic standpoint (Kerala) but in surplus when it comes to opinions, sarcasm, and satire. Grew up in the midst of palm trees on the Arabian sands (UAE) surrounded by fellow Indian Bedouins in skyscrapers, doing 9-5 jobs. Came back to democracy (India) due to paucity of parental funds for a Western education. Studied a peasant like curriculum (B.Com) in the outskirts of BLR and then voila parents wanted me to become the perfect groom, academically i.e. and hence embarked onto another corner of BLR to understand the inner workings of an open drain (corporate India) via a certification (MBA). It was worth it then, now it fights for relevance with a toxic boss and fails.

Developed a penchant for money only to realise that I barely have any of my own and so decided to work with the select few who have it in abundance. I managed wealth that grew and eroded for sometime and decided to remain in that line of work which took me outside India to faraway Imperial lands, to do yet another Masters. Came back broke. Continued working only with those have money, in different capacities, being an advisor in foreign governments, intergovernmental agencies to a failed wealth based start-up, developed and blown up, by yours truly. Now at peace with my self and my bulging (what were you thinking??!) bank balance and investment portfolio.

I am a naturalised teetotaller and have happily retired from the stick, pipe, sip and smoke. I don’t purse shiny disco balls anymore and will need ear plugs should I ever even go in the vicinity of one.

Almost a decade ago, fully grown up at 5'6, I got bitch slapped with this realisation that less is more. Yes you already knew it but I didn’t! Cut down almost everything in my life, from friends to social media presence to phone books to eating habits and clothes, barring God, underwear and personal hygiene! I have gotten used to the clutter free existence, physically and mentally and safeguard it like its my Siachen glacier outpost! This doesn’t mean I live like a peasant. I am naturally attracted to quality and the finer things in life, from what I eat (vegetarian carnivore) to wear to see. I prefer to live the rest of my life in a ‘penthouse’ (not the bloody magazine) mindset.

As for you, I hope you are a lady who already feels beautiful and sexy, on the inside and out (I like stretch marks!), when you look in the mirror. I want to be with you and make it a mutually exclusive and inclusive journey, only for us, and build on our loves and likes and defang our dislikes. I want to get know you as a person free of entanglements (EMIs excluded!) such as an ex(es) or male besties or simpy office colleagues (this is not in your control, I get it). Starting fresh, like pineapples ordered from Zepto, we should focus on our priorities, professional, personal and us. As I said earlier I am sober, sane and wannabe Frank Zane (nowhere close), I hope you’re the same too. I am not the life of the party, largely because I don’t attend any. I hope you’re idea of life is the same too! I’ll lust for you if you’re selectively social as I’m one too! I match efforts on an incremental basis and I want you to as well.

Come, talk to me, meet me. Let’s hold hands, go for long walks and hope it moves into a lifetime of integrity, love, respect, loyalty and never ending padmasanas!
