My life outside of work

I can paddle board all day, every day. What is surprising to even me is that I don’t know how to swim, but hydrotherapy answers all my problems. There is a calmness that I love and genuinely crave when it comes to paddle boarding. So, if ever I go missing for more than a day, and the last picture or story on my Instagram is me paddle boarding … please check the lakes and rivers in Ontario.

Community Involvement

Rapid Fire Questions

  1. On Sunday mornings, you can usually find me... On a video call with my mother, motivating me to get my stuff done, followed by my husband scolding me for procrastinating the inevitable cleaning and cooking for Monday morning.
  2. If I were a superhero, my superpower would be… To be able to eat as much as you want without gaining weight!!! So, I can enjoy all the amazing foods around the world, especially my my mother-in-law's cooking.
  3. If your current career did not work out, what would have been your Plan B career? My plan B would be to move to Japan and become a Panda Nanny. Just kidding, I honestly cannot think of anything I would rather do. I truly love what I do. I HAVE TO MAKE IT WORKKK!!!
  4. If you could do anything, what would your dream day look like? Right now, when I think of my dream day, all I can think of is having my whole family with me, so that I can eat yummy food every day without cooking. This coupled with my desired superpower will be a dream life. (My mother-in-law makes the yummiest food in the world. She is the reason I married my husband)
  5. At which store would you like to max-out your credit card? Just one store??? Ummm … If it was completely in my hands, I would choose Gucci, but since the power lies with my credit card, then Banana Republic.
  6. If you won the lottery, what would be the first thing you buy?A house for my parents in North Vancouver (after living in New Delhi, they need greenery in their life), a Maserati Levante for my husband, and a paddle board with a life jacket for myself.
  7. If you were king/queen for a day, what would be your first rule that you would change? I would change Monday from a weekday to a weekend. Monday blues is a real thing.
  8. Would you rather live for a week in the past or the future? I would rather live a week in the past and make better decisions. The past paves the way to the future😊.
  9. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? Anywhere near an ocean.
  10. If you could have lunch with any celebrity/famous personality, who would you pick? Prime Minister of India, Mr. Narender Modi. So much to discuss with him.
