About Me

I am a happy punjabi-american activist/organizer and full-time mom to a toddler (the cutest baby ever). For folks who know me, they would say I have been a Mom my whole life. Oh yeah, and I am having another baby in October.

My Interests

I like to dance, play games, watch baseball (oakland A's), eat good vegan and gluten-free food, play soccer, play with my dog (pitbull) scrapbook, knit, sew, and educate to undermine capitalism and all forms of oppression.

I'd like to meet:

Radical parents in the East Bay (esp. Berkeley area) who want to set up communities for child care, activities and support. Fun and crazy Desis who want to help me with my Hindi. Really any anarchist POCs who like the A's.

Music:

Indie rock and political hip-hop. If we go out dancing, it better be 80's and new wave. I grew up with sxe hardcore so punk rock is always in my heart.

Television:

Veronica Mars, Gilmore Girls, Project Runway, The Office. . .I pretty much watch TV every night after the baby is in bed.

Books:

Recently: Middlesex, Life of Pi, Namesake, Fortress of Solitude, Wild Seed, Bel Canto, John Henry Days, . . . dog at midnight, Caramelo, Blindness. Of the past: Harry Potter, Midnights Children, God of Small Things, really, i like all novels.

Heroes:

Anyone who makes me get out of the house at night (and gets me back to bed early).
