I am a modern woman with traditional values and a practicing Muslim.  I work and enjoy lots of activities.  I love to travel and learn about other cultures.   I delight in cooking classic Hyderabadi cuisine and teach classes for fun but I also love eating at all kinds of restaurants and trying to recreate dishes myself.  Reading is a passion - all genres, (My favorite quote is by Hafiz "And the Earth never says to the sun, you owe me. Look what a love like that does, it lights up the whole world") as are gardening, hiking, hitting the gym and great conversations.  I have friends but my best friends are in my family - family is very important to me.   I'm looking for someone to share adventures at home and abroad.
