Hey there! A bit about me: I am in my first year of rheumatology fellowship in southern CA. Beyond my job title, my other titles include amateur baker, Netflix binge watcher, beach lover, and hiking enthusiast (cliche I know). I was born in the US and am equally proud of my Californian and Indian roots. I make delicious baingan bhaja and chocolate chip cookies that you can probably smell from wherever you are. I speak Hindi and Spanish somewhat fluently. I have lived all over the country and am planning to settle in California.


 With an obvious bias, I must say that I have an incredible family. My dad is a physician and my mom dedicated her younger years to raising 3 children and helping manage my dad’s practice (my mom is from U.P. and my dad is from Bihar and have been established in the US for over 35 years). My older sister has an MBA  and works in marketing and my younger brother is in med school.

 I'd like to meet someone who I can... more eventually partner with to celebrate successes and navigate life's challenges. I'm looking for someone who strives to find balance between life and work, teaches me about his hobbies and at least feigns interest when I make him watch Planet Earth or a sappy romcom, and doesn't mind getting on the dance floor with me :)


I'm thoroughly impressed if you've read enough to get here. Hope I can learn a bit about you now! Of note, please communicate first through some form of texting as I generally do not answer phone calls during my workday. This profile is comanaged by my parents.
