In my son's own words -
I consider myself to be relatively broad-minded, humorous, easy going, helpful, and caring. I appreciate and respect the need for personal space in an individual's life, and do not intrude in those areas. Communication between people is important for me, not in length or volume, but in terms of understanding each other.
I am currently working at Wavemaker, one of the many units of GroupM India. It is the one of the fastest growing integrated media agency from India.
I enjoy reading (any topic under the sun), writing, photography and playing cricket. Some of my writings and photography can be found online. Authors I like to read include Murakami, Manil Suri, Donna Tart, Rohinton Mistry, Robin Cook and other popular writers.
I also enjoy traveling whenever I get the opportunity, going for the movies, and meeting up with close friends frequently. I have often been told that I have a very good sense of humor, but
... more perhaps, it was just said to humor me ;-)
I enjoy spending time with kids and playing with them. Kids can really teach you a lot, because all they expect from you is time, and playing with kids is also a great stress-buster. I also enjoy the company of pets (dogs, cats, birds).
My taste is music is eclectic, thought I gravitate towards the 60s - 80s rock, and old tunes from Bollywood. I also enjoy listening to western classical.
my son's expectations in his own words -
I seek a partner who should be caring, compassionate, and broad-minded. Having a sense of humor would definitely help.
She should be career-focused, while also be able to take out time for family regularly. I would expect her to want the same from me.
She should enjoy traveling, and be open to the many experiences life has to offer. She should also have a few core hobbies of her own, which would allow her to enjoy her down-time from work, while also letting her grow in her personal space.
She could also be someone who appreciates a good movie, a good book and an interesting debate of world affairs.
