About Me
Who: Single Male heterosexual of Indian origin.
Full name: If you don’t know it already, you’re not getting it. Stalkers are exhausting.
Where: Currently in Midtown Atlanta GA USA.
Dates and places: Hmmm. Born in Old Delhi. Grew up in Roop Nagar, near Delhi University. Stayed home until I was 22, so there goes 1973-95. 1996-97, Lucknow for B School. 1997-98, Bombay, working my ass off. 1999, Delhi, waiting for admission results, then Pittsburgh, off to grad school. 1999-2004, Pittsburgh. 2005, Atlanta.
Birthday: Virgo, 1973.
Bad Habits: Sadly, few. Non-smoker, teetotaler, vegetarian. Not even tea or coffee. The epitome of abstinence. The blue-eyed boy of unclejis and auntyjis.
Favourite things to do: Read…extensively and at length. Photograph. Sit with friends and have long, often meaningless (but oh-so-profound!) conversations, while everyone but me is drunk. Go on long drives at night. But always return.
What I was (and what I am):
I was a resident of Delhi, India (Now I live in Atlanta, Georgia, USA)
I was in a joint family a.k.a. extended family (Now I live alone)
I was an FOB* (Now I’m an NRI).
What I am (and what I want to be) :
I am 31 (aspiring male sex-in-the-city actor)
I am single (almost all my friends are married, with kids to boot)
I am an H1B (the Card is Greener on the other side)
* There ought to be a separate social class for immigrants who “aren’t quite there yet”. We’re not ABCDs (that’s a title conferred by birth only). And we’re not FOBs (after six years in the US, one is not that “fresh”). We’re beyond the ‘I must convert this to rupees before I consider buying it’ stage, but not quite at the ‘I must put more money in my 401K’ stage. Neither camp would fully embrace us.
