CURRENT MISSION Expanding my social network PHILOSOPHY I really hold the Jain philosophy of non-violence very close to me. I often think and discuss about how that notion fits into a modern world and about what parts of the human condition really contribute to violence across the globe.
Interested in Cooking
Fluent in English
Learning French
Pioneer Badge
Music, Movies, and Books
Books: My favorite is One Hundred Years of Solitude - Gabriel Garcia Marquez Art: I've recently been obsessed with the Dali-esque style of Ora Tamir from Thousand Oaks, CA Movies: Fight Club, Braveheart, Pather Panchali Music: Basically everything except Country. I'm really into French and Arabic music fused with some African rhythms ie. Magic System and Zap Mama!
Teach, Learn, Share
What I can teach: - Some classic Gujurati vegetarian dishes (I really like to cook). - Garbha & Raas (Gujurati folk dancing) - Bhangra (Punjabi dance style) - I guess some things about how the human body works (since that is what I'm studying...) What I want to learn: - More French - I like to cook - but I don't know many dishes beyond traditional Gujurati cooking. So, I'm always up for learning a new dish. - Ethnic dance styles
My Interests
I am a total music lover. Anything from classical to dance beats from around the world. I play violin, a little bit of piano, and I love to listen. For some reason, I never hear music lyrics when I listen to music - I only hear the rhythms, baselines, and melodies/harmonies. Hence, I love music in foreign languages! I love to travel and chat with people in random places - whether it be an airline trip, a bus stop, on a metro - I'll just talk it up. Did I mention that playing tennis is my drug of choice?
