I'm outgoing when I have to be, but an introvert at heart. Laughing and making others laugh puts me at ease in social setting. I've been living independently of my parents for the past several years, but close enough whereas I can go home every other weekend to do laundry, pick up food and get the occasional lecture on why i'm not married.  I have one older sister, married, she has three kids. I work for a newspaper. I was a journalist, but now I project manage online interactive, multimedia projects. I'd like to say that I'm a big reader, but I've let that slide over the past few years. I do love to travel, but hate flying. I've climbed mountains, I ski once year, have tried snorkeling and surfing. My biggest challenge is getting myself to write again, its been awhile. I wear hijab, but my practice ranges from reading to attending dhikr sessions. I was born in Kenya, and my grandparents were from India. I don't really identify with the South Asian culture, and understand, but do not speak Urdu. I workout during the week, but only so I can eat what I want.
