The Whimsical Whale


Or T (for Tango).

or Tea (you drink with jam and bread).

or Tee (off or shirt).

I am currently in Dubai (will probably move to India some time in 2015); and I did my further studies in the U.S. for six years. My life has been primarily spent around the India/Middle-East region -- I've lived in Bahrain, Dubai, Mumbai (Bombay as I still refer to it as), Riyadh, Gurgaon (near Delhi).

I've got a technical master's degree, but I firmly believe that I was born to be an actor.

Social issues give me life. I wish they didn't exist, but talking about it gives me life. Racism, religious ignorance, LGBTQA rights, and woman's issues are things I can talk about for hours. Maybe it is because I'm an agnostic Indian who doesn't like labels such as 'straight' or 'gay' or 'man' or 'woman'. I was born female, but I find gender roles exhausting and sexist; both for men and women. I never saw love as anything wrong, even raised in the middle-east where being gay can sometimes be punishable by death and has never been 'acceptable'. Nothing you say, can convince me other-wise. I do not dare you to try, mostly because I don't like getting angry. But I digress.

I'm a twenty-something year old who has seen a little bit of the world through very rose-colored glasses and under the shade of an incredibly protective umbrella. But I am always open to new experiences and opinions and I love discussion.

I will be participating in the 2015 NaPoWriMo (even though I am no longer in the U.S.
