Update: I finished a Master's Degree in Data Analytics in Limerick, Ireland in 2022. I was working there from Jan 2023 to July 2023 when I returned to India due to worries about my parents' health.
A friendly person with a sense of humour, simple tastes [but a foodie never the less] and a liberal outlook towards life. I am fairly athletic, intellectual, financially stable, cultured and from an academically accomplished, medical and ecclesiastical family.I grew up as an Expat Indian in Sub-Saharan West Africa surrounded by East European neighbours. My childhood was spent visiting several countries thanks to my father's love of travelling. This may be the reason I attempted learning many languages (scripts too) and became a culture-vulture. I learnt and forgot to play the guitar, violin and keyboards as a kid. A regular winner of Quiz Contests since childhood, I've had moderate success in diverse cultural competitions as well.
An Engineer from a premier... more Indian college, I was last 'salaried' as the Programs Manager for the South Asia region for an International NGO. As a Consultant in the IT Services Industry I have worked across diverse technologies in several different roles. I was once a partner in a small VC firm and had mentored start-ups besides working on one of my own. I sometimes accept the many requests I get to conduct technical trainings and management seminars for colleges and firms. At present I reside at Alappuzha/Alleppey. I am alleppey at live.in but mostly based out of Kochi / Cochin / Ernakulam. In the past I have had Business Visas to the UK and Philippines, besides work Visas to the United States and Malaysia. I have also worked in the New Delhi area for 3 years and Trivandrum for 7 years.
I had once written the Advanced GRE in Maths and the GMAT but life intervened. I was supposed to go to Ireland in August 2017 to pursue an MS in Big Data Analytics but my visa application was refused. The reasons cited were silly but one cannot argue with embassy officials without jeopardising one's profile in a globally connected digital world. I am also open to processing an immigration visa to any technologically and economically advanced country. Over the years, I had acquired real estate which - in an effort to reduce my footprint in Keralam and improve my global mobility - I managed to liquidate and convert into Cryptocurrency before 2016. I thus exceeded ALL 'my' financial targets and I only look forward to three things now - raising a (if possible) large family & home schooling my children, maybe running a business and pursuing a PhD.
I will take a final decision on career and future domicile after taking into consideration "your" life situation as "our" future family life is more important to me right now. I am presently held back from taking a "destination decision" by the diversity of geographical locations that you my prospective bride is located in. I am looking to relocate and it might be a good idea for you to not base your decision on my present job or geographical location or 'degree' of academic achievement. My aged parents are a priority for me.
I am the maverick in the family... who went where no relative of mine has gone before... Mechanical Engineering. My kid sister did her Bachelors in Civil Engineering and her Masters in City Planning and was working as a Port Planner in Madras. She now has 3 kids and stays with her husband abroad. The rest (16/24) of my extended family are all Post Graduate Medical Doctors.Your background does not matter as long as you are willing to blend in with my family. You must be interested to learn about my ethno-religious and cultural background. Though not a bigot or ethnic chauvinist, I have put in considerable time studying "my people" and consider myself an amateur anthropologist or sociologist. Pretend to be impressed with my useless acquired knowledge and you earn major brownie points with me
I am looking for someone who is somewhat adventurous, calm, kind, family oriented, a lovely person (both inside and outside) caring and straight-forward. Someone whose yin synchronises with my yang. In return you can expect a low maintenance and accommodating husband. You must be compassionate and generous in spirit - I don't mean making donations at charity dinners. You must be educated, not bigoted, not socialist, emotionally mature and drama free. While not a parsimonious man, I appreciate a woman who is sensible in her spending habits. While I like a woman who dresses well, I'm definitely not looking for a fashionista either !I hope that what I have written will convince the right woman to go forth where no woman has gone before !However, if my verbal gymnastics have had no influence on you, you must be one tough cookie or devoid of any sense of humour. You would probably be better off without me !If however, you liked my profile, but don't want to share a future with me, feel free to recommend it to a friend (or even enemy) of your's who you think might make a good partner for me. In any case, I wish you well and hope you find your man. Apparently, Women are driven by what they hear and Men by what they see. I hope you liked what I have written. I have made what 'I' think is enough and I want a woman who also wants to raise a family the way I want. I am comfortable with any kind of attitude towards employment as long as your priority is family over career. I have no interest in a lengthy flirting / courtship / seduction. I am looking for a life partner here and if you want to just have fun like Cyndi Lauper I can give you suggestions for places to go to. Please don't waste my time. I was raised with a liberal outlook but with very conservative morals and this dichotomy will be evident in my responses.Please respond to me or contact me ONLY IF you are serious about marriage AND if you will not develop cold feet after expressing your interest.Ciao.
PS: Read the article "We've All Been Raised By Evil Love Stories" by OLIVER EMBERTON. I highly recommend it.
