About Me
I am a recent empty nester, a single parent of a son who is a sophomore in college. Originally from New Delhi, India, I have been in the US for more than two decades and this is home now. Am at a great place in my life and excited at the prospect of rediscovering the world even more now since I have the time... I have been through a lot in life and emerged stronger without losing my zest and joie de vivre... I consider myself an incurable optimist, an idealist yet grounded and a hopeless romantic.
