36M and at peace. Looking for a partner before I get too comfortable.
Who, Why, and …How am I???
Physically: 185 cm, still not fat, no known medical concerns (yet), not balding (yet — I trust my genes). Brown. V-cut loading, courtesy of gymming and an unreasonable belief that consistency will eventually compensate for biryani.
Culturally: Telugu is my mother tongue. I speak English and Hindi, both with accents (Bihari, UP, Bengali…)I have stopped apologising for. Not terrible with Tamil either. I follow Hindu traditions, but I’ve arrived at a fairly peaceful conclusion about God — the unknown is probably best left unknown.
Family: Yadav if that matters. Paternal and maternal lineage from Visakhapatnam- so by default I grew up loving the mountains and the beach, and a slow city life. I come from an educated family and traditionally we have been Government servants/employees.
Education & Career: South Indian, and terrible at biology — hence engineering (and also had to take my Dad’s legacy ahead). I treated my 20s like a laboratory and experimented with a bunch of things: IT, Sarkaari Naukri, UPSC, dhandha… basically a diversified portfolio of questionable career decisions.
Eventually, I returned to the path laid out by my ancestors: MBA. Did it from one of the country’s top B-schools, if I may flex for exactly one sentence.
I now sell aaloo and kandha at a Major fintech firm— It pays me decently, but not enough to get myself that BMW 340i without jeopardising my present and future. The 340i is currently my carrot.
Location: Currently Hyderabad but I’m open to where life takes- except into chaos and chaotic cities.
Personality: Somewhere between a golden retriever and a Belgian hound. I love dogs, good conversations, spontaneous plans and people who can laugh at themselves. If I can flex one more time- I can get along with Gen Z and Gen Alpha too (ask my niece!) Some days I can talk to clients and people for hours; other days I need to disappear, sleep and reboot.
I’m fairly independent, reasonably sorted, sarcastic by default and serious when it matters (I think). I enjoy travelling, Gaming, sports (multi) and digging rabbit holes about cars, businesses, history or whatever has caught my attention that week.
What I’m looking for: I’ve made enough mistakes to know what I don’t want, and enough peace with myself to not need someone to “complete” me. I’m looking for someone to add to an already good life — a partner, teammate and best friend. Someone empathetic, emotionally mature, intellectually curious and comfortable being herself. Someone who has her own life, opinions, ambitions and quirks. I’d like a relationship with plenty of laughter, honest conversations, mutual respect, family (kids), travel, food, dogs and the occasional argument about something completely inconsequential.
I’m not looking for perfection. I’m looking for compatibility, companionship and the ability to choose each other even on the boring Tuesdays.
Bonus points if you like dogs.
Extra bonus points if you can tolerate sarcasm.
And if you’re okay with me buying the 340i today- I’m already married to you in my head.
