   I was born and raised in Kansas City, Missouri.  I am the youngest of 4, Pakistani-American.  I am a kind, genuine, and sympathetic person.  I value life long learning, and am constantly striving to do and be better.  I am a very loyal person, who values close and meaningful relationships with friends and family.  Quality over quantity is my motto.  I was raised in a household that stressed Islam more so than culture, so am not very culturally inclined in the traditional sense.  I love a good laugh and feel that experiencing joy on a daily basis is a must..  I love all kinds of music.  Some of my hobbies include reading (Jane Austen, Agatha Christie, P.G Wodehouse are favorites), yoga, and classic cinema (think Audrey Hepburn in Charade).  I am easy going and can get along with most anyone.
