29, originally from Patna, now working in Delhi at a private consulting firm. That's after years of preparing for civil services that didn't pan out the way I'd planned. Bhojpuri-speaking, Hindu, 5'8", vegetarian, non-drinker.
I'll be honest, I still occasionally grieve the version of my life that involved a government badge. It was a long road and letting go of it took time. But I'm mostly at peace with the life I actually have now, and more grateful for it than I sometimes let on.
These days I keep myself grounded with reading, current affairs debates I can't resist getting into, and long train journeys over flights whenever I can manage it. There's something about a train that a plane never gives you.
Looking for someone 26-31. Ideally someone who understands that a plan not working out isn't the same as a life not working out, and who's building something real regardless of the detours.
