About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Don't take life seriously, nobody survives anyway!

ABOUT ME
Currently reading: My Gita by Devadutt Patnaik, The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton and God is not Great by Christopher Hitchens.
Fun, Friendly and a very happy girl! I am very open minded and I love meeting people! I enjoy cooking and learning new traditional recipes so much! I always keep on the look out for new recipes when travelling! I am very curious but laid back person!

I am a strong advocate of women's rights and LGBT rights and when I am not tinkering with brains (I am a Neuroscientist), I am out volunteering in the local LGBT centre.

PHILOSOPHY
When you hit rock bottom, up is the only way you can go!
