### About Me:

Hey, I’m Ven, 35, South Indian, and definitely not your typical Indian guy. I’m progressive, liberal, an LGBTQ ally, body positive and big on women’s rights. I’m energetic, loyal, funny, and driven, with strong values and principles. I enjoy deep conversations but love to keep things fun and light too.

I work in cybersecurity from my WFH setup in India, covering both US and Indian time zones. I am active in all US Timezones and linger in Indian timezones. Outside of work, you’ll find me painting, reading, cooking, or hanging out with my cats.

My Interests:

🎶 Music: Rock, metal, R&B, jazz, and a touch of '90s nostalgia. Metallica, AC/DC, and Linkin Park are on repeat.

🎬 Movies & TV: I love horror, thrillers, romcoms, and sci-fi. If it’s thought-provoking or spooky, I’m in.

📚 Reading: I’m into philosophy, ancient history, sociology, anthropology, science, and culture—always learning something new.

🎨 Art: Painting is my creative outlet—check it out here.

👨‍🍳 Cooking: Food is my therapy, and I love cooking for people I care about. Here’s what I’ve been whipping up here.

🐾 Cats: Cat dad here, and I also take care of the neighborhood strays. Meet them here - PS it's not NSFW, Imgur is being glitchy.

About You:

You’re open-minded, confident, career-focused, and love animals (especially cats). You enjoy good food, deep talks, and you’re looking for more than just a casual connection. You’re upfront and not into ghosting—honesty matters.

About Us (Maybe?):

I’m looking for a genuine long-term romantic relationship. If you’re someone who’s open to exploring a deeper connection, let’s see where things go! Distance isn’t a problem for me, and I’m more than willing to make real-life meetings happen. Let’s build something meaningful together.

Oh, and physically, I’m 5’10, bald, bearded, and rocking the dad bod with pride. Want a peek? Here’s me

If this sounds like what you’re looking for, let’s connect!
