I was born in India, raised in New York (came here when I was 6). I am the youngest of 5 siblings. Family is very important to me. 

I work as a business manager in the finance department for a New York State agency.
 
Love to travel and experience different cultures. The more we are exposed to different cultures and different people, the more we will be inclined to be tolerant and accepting of others.

I also love art, specifically Islamic Calligraphy. It is my source of therapy. Definitely an amateur though. 

I am looking for someone who is a practicing Muslim and has a good balance between Deen and dunya. I do the basics: pray 5 times a day, fast, give zakat, etc but I am not perfect. I am trying to improve on a daily basis, both in my Deen and Dunya. I am looking for someone that is willing to accept my shortcomings and allow both of us to learn and grow together. 

Looking for a travel partner (because what’s the point of we aren’t going to explore the world together?), a gym buddy (because, I’m great at finding a comfy place on the couch: pretty dangerous) and a best friend (because mine is married. You won’t be a replacement, just an addition ?). Someone I can joke around with (because, let’s be serious, ain’t trynna die of boredom. Lol jk, or not). And last but not least, someone who knows how to have a conversation (self explanatory, I hope.)

I was previously married for a short period. The marriage came to an end due to incompatibility and mentality clash. More details upon request.
