I have two brothers, both elder and married. The first is an Engineer in Indian Air Force and the second is employed in a reputed glass factory.
  
  My ideal partner will be someone who is intelligent, caring, broad-minded and has a good sense of humour. I believe that love, trust, understanding and commitment are the four pillars of any relation and this is what I am looking for in my partner.
