Born, brought up, and lived in West Asia the first 17 years of my life, I am an American educated former aerospace engineer with an MBA, having lived in California for most of the 18 years I spent in the US. After I came to the fatherland (India) I went into business for myself. I am basically a romantic, caring, generally outgoing, active, and sociable person. I have a fairly good sense of humor, including self-deprecating. My interests include reading (mostly non-fiction), a wide range of western music, photography, dining out, traveling, theater, concerts, museums, history, and other cultures. I am very particular about physical fitness, my exercise/workouts, and yoga, and living a healthy life style. My future better-half should be a 1975-1981 born, fairly good looking, well educated, independent, and smart lady who is quite sophisticated, and has a flair for the finer aspects of life including cultural. A fairly good sense of humor too. Self-employed business owner or working. She should know where a modern woman's place is . . . . . . being an equal with her man and NOT walking two steps behind! I am Not Interested in any one with body piercings or tattoos. Btw, this is not written in stone; I can be quite flexible about it, and in the final analysis it is the chemistry between us that counts!!!
