I am a modern muslim woman with traditional values.  I pray and read salaat five times a day and Quran daily but I also work and enjoy lots of activities.  I love to travel and have been fortunate to have visited quite a few countries.  I'm looking for someone with whom to share adventures at home and abroad.  I delight in cooking classic Hyderabadi cuisine and teach classes for fun but I also love eating at all kinds of ethnic restaurants and trying to recreate the dishes myself.  Reading is a passion - all genres, as are gardening, hiking and hitting the gym.  I have lots of friends but my best friends are in my family - family is very important to me.  I have a zest for living and smiles and laughter are my currency.
