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.

Rapid Fire Questions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!!!
- 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)
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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😊.
- If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? Anywhere near an ocean.
- 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.
