This white 32 year-old Dallas-based over-educated finance professional is 
seeking a new Indian romance closer to home than India.  After all, jet 
lag sucks, right?  I have found out through personal experience that the 
most beautiful women on earth are Indian, and I hope to find a special 
one on this side of the ocean.   At the very least, I might make a new 
friend.  On the upside, the sky's the limit.
  
I almost married an Indian girl once that I knew in college, not too many 
years ago.  The problem was that she was raised in India (Udaipur, 
Rajasthan) and her parents were very much the traditional Indian parents. 
They wanted their daughter to marry an Indian of the Jain religion, so on 
and so forth.  They did not at all like the idea that their daughter was 
getting close to a white American like me.  So one summer between 
semesters at school, her father sent her back to India with the story 
that her grandmother was sick.  As it turned out, it was just a trick to 
get her to go back home, where the family was waiting for her to pressure 
her into choosing from one of the guys that they had arranged for her to 
meet.  It's a long and crazy story that most people who have never had 
any exposure to Indian culture might not understand.  

Through her, I learned a lot about India and learned to admire Indian 
culture, Indian people, Indian religions, etc.  It really is an 
intriguing culture.  And the most charming women to ever cross my path 
have been Indian.  There have been 2 special Indian women in my life.  
The last one didn't work out because of the "long-distance" aspect of the 
relationship and other external circumstances beyond our control.

I have been lucky to have had the chance to visit many places in my short 
32 years of life on this planet.  I have been to many countries in Asia, 
mostly in SE Asia, but I did finally make it to India a couple of years 
ago for a short visit in Bombay.  One of the walls in my living room is 
entirely covered with paintings that I bought in India.  Also, I have 
some artwork on my walls from Thailand and Taiwan.  Some other places 
I've visited are Singapore, Hong Kong, Korea, and The Philippines.  
Closer to home, I've been to Jamaica a couple of times, and Mexico, of 
course, living only an 8 hour drive from the border.  

While I am the career oriented type working for a multi-national 
corporation in Dallas, I am not a workaholic, by any stretch of the 
imagination.  I work to live, not the other way around.  And if I have 
any control over it, I am out the office door right at 5 o'clock.  That 
way, I can live my life and enjoy it a little bit.  I like to leave work 
at the office.  Then I can spend my time outside of work, playing 
racquetball, rollerblading, going to movies, spending time with friends, 
etc.  I also like going to movies, going to plays, fine dining, and an 
occasional night out on the town listening to some good rock and roll or 
alternative music.  Physical fitness is definitely the "in thing".  I 
don't mind breaking a sweat in a variety of ways because I like to keep a 
fit and trim 175 pounds on my 6'00'' frame.

I went to the Holi festival at the DFW Hindu temple last March for the 
third year in a row.   It was a lot of fun again this year, complete with 
colored powder.  And yes, this white boy got colored pretty good.  I'll 
thank a special friend of mine for that and plan my revenge for next 
year.  The food was excellent too.  As always.

I can't wait to know more about you.  Now you know a hell of a lot more 
about me than I know about you.  If you would like to know more, send me 
an E-Mail and tell me about yourself.
