 My family is Punjabi and I was born and raised in the US.  I love to travel.  I've been fortunate to visit 40 states would like to make that 50 in the near future.  I believe hiking and being around nature is the perfect way to balance our technology driven lives.  I'm active in the Muslim community and credit it for my development as a person.  I feel a strong sense of comfort at the masjid, so masjid hopping is one of my most favorite activities. I'm a pretty good cook.  American desserts are my specialty, but I make a mean chicken karahi.  For guilty pleasures I’d say dark chocolate, facials, and Korean dramas. Salah/namaz, in particular, is something very important to me.  My friends and coworkers say I’m caring, thoughtful, and quirky/quick-witted.
