I am originally from West Bengal (India) and I have been living in the United States since 2008. We are Bengali Sunni family. My immediate family includes my parents, my older brother, his wife, and my 4-year old niece. They are all based in India. I came to the United States for higher education in Speech-Language Pathology. Since completing my Ph.D. in 2013, I have been working at Oklahoma State University (Stillwater, OK). I spent my childhood years in several places within India due to my father's job. So, I think I can easily adapt to new people and new situations. I would consider myself moderately religious and I follow some of the fundamental principles of Islam (including prayers, fasting, halaal, and zakat). I consider myself fluent in three languages (English, Hindi, and Bengali). I am open to relocating to a different state and country if and when I find the right person. 
Religion to me is important as it has shaped my core values and I wish to share that with my life partner. I am looking for someone (preferably of Indian origin) who is optimistic, understanding, loving, and accepts people the way they are. I am very close to my family and would love to have a life partner who shares similar bonding and emotions for his family and friends. I hope that I am successful in my search to find my life partner who can become my best supporter (most of the time), critic (when necessary), and soulmate (in both fun and challenging times).
