  I enjoy the simple things in life -- curling up with a cup of coffee and a good book. I tend to be on the quieter side and enjoy low-key weekends with family and friends. But I’m always up for going to a concert or checking out the latest museum exhibit. I love traveling and try to explore at least one new city every year. I enjoy learning new things whether it’s exploring my creative side through photography or attending lectures and events such Chicago Ideas Week. I’m family-oriented and consider myself to be well-balanced when it comes to both Eastern and Western cultures. When I’m not working, I’m volunteering with the Chicago South Asian Film Festival or trying new recipes.
