 I find it very awkward to describe myself but here goes.
I was born and raised in the US, though my family is originally from India. I have a large extended family that I am very close to. Trying to be god conscious in all aspects of my life is of utmost importance to me, but sometimes I need a reminder. I attempt to practice Islam to the best of my ability and fulfilling the basic fard is a key part of that, but I think true god consciousness and practice of Islam manifests best in one’s character and akhlaq.
I am a physician, and though I love my job, it is not the most important part of my identity.  I derive the majority of my happiness from non-work related activities, my spirituality and my relationships as a daughter, sister, aunt and friend. I enjoy spending time with loved ones, reading, eating and staying active. I love traveling  and have been blessed with the opportunity to travel often. I’m up for anything (almost) as long as I have good company.  It is difficult to describe myself, but keeping it simple, I would say I’m laid back and always ready for a laugh. I can enjoy an intellectual conversation, but sometimes prefer a nice dose of reality television instead. I think kindness, patience and humor can get you through most situations.
