About me

Gender	Female
Industry	Arts
Occupation	Teacher/Poet/Jewelry Designer/Musician
Location	Bangalore, Karnataka, India
Introduction	Teacher, poet, painter and musician... avid traveler, risk taker and adventurer... always eager for knowledge and learning new skills.
Interests	Facing fears, change and progress. Music listening, playing, composing and dissecting. Poetry reading and writing. Painting, stencilling, making and designing jewellery, vintage shopping/wearing, cooking and eating ethnic food (spicy preferred), cutting hair, teaching and learning in general, gardening, snuggling and playing with my precious kitties, Gosh Golly Miss Molly and Don Miguel Pavarotti. I love learning about other cultures and traditions. Reading juicy nonfiction (mostly psychology/science based), science fiction, fantasy, historical fiction, children's picture/chapter books, doing fun stuff with friends: riding bikes across the city, jogging around town and in parks, foreign and art films, road trips and hiking, climbing steep hills that closely resemble mountains or actual volcanoes, river rafting, kayaking, swimming, scuba diving and solving puzzles.
Favorite Movies	First and Foremost, Harold and Maude; Amores Perros, Cosas Insignificantes; Lucìa y el Sexo; Science of Sleep; Mulholland Dr.; Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me; Chocolat; Amelie; Lady Jane; American Beauty; Lord of the Rings (all 3 extended versions, baby!); Shopgirl; Tron; Anne of Green Gables Trilogy; Me, You, and Everyone We Know; The Shining; Tidelands; The Girl in the Cafe; Bambi and Fantasia (such great teaching tools for seasons- this is Texas- the kids need help!); City of God; The Pianist; Sophie's Choice; Contact; Seven; The Very Long Engagement; Monster; Breakfast at Tiffany's; Wayne's World; So I Married an Axe Murderer; Nightmare Before Christmas; Down by Law; The original three Star Wars before Lucas ****** it all up; Coal Miner's Daughter; Frida; Matrix; Last Life in the Universe.
Favorite Music	I'd say, experimental music is my favorite. That covers a lot of genres, and I sure do like a lot of genres... to be more articulate, I most prefer music that surprises and excites me... this usually means music that doesn't quite fit into one genre and changes outside the form. Please challenge my expectations! To give you concrete examples: I like Andrew Bird to Some Say Leland to Twigs & Yarn to Housewife to Sonic Youth to The Shins to Yann Tiersen to Shannon Wright to Some Say Leland to Bjork to Beck to Katie Lang to Joanna Newsome to Maria Schneider to Stravinsky to The Smiths to The Minutemen to David Byrne to Yo Lo Tengo to Johnny Cash to Muse to Sigur Ros to Radiohead to Pinback to Fiest to Berlioz to Elliot Smith to Tori Amos to Beirut to Jeff Buckley to Blonde Redhead to Neko Case to God Speed You Black Emperor to Bob Dylan to DJ Shadow to Psapp to Juana Molina to Mazzy Star to Richard Buckner.
