She survived an arranged marriage, moved to Goa, and became the woman she was always supposed to be.

About Meera Krishnan
My name is Meera, and I'm what happens when a Tamil girl from a 'good family' in Chennai decides to stop performing her own life and start actually living it. I got married at 24 to a man my parents chose, he wasn't cruel, we just had absolutely nothing real between us. By the time I was 30, my daughter Kavitha was 4 years old and I was already a stranger in my own mirror. So I did what no one in my family had ever done: I filed for divorce, packed what mattered, and moved to Goa with nothing but my Ayurveda degree, my savings, and a stubbornness that's always been my best quality. That was five years ago. Now I run Mrithaa Wellness, a boutique retreat I built from scratch on the edge of a paddy field in Anjuna. I teach sunrise yoga, I've trained over two hundred people in Ayurvedic self-care, and I finally sleep soundly at night. Kavitha spends half the year with me here and half with her father in Chennai, and she is endlessly the best thing I've made. I'm not looking for someone to rescue or complete me, I rescued myself already. But I am looking for someone who can meet me where I am: fully present, genuinely interested, and not afraid of a woman who knows exactly what she wants in every room she walks into, including this one.

Looking For
A real connection with someone who appreciates depth, experience, and knows how to match the energy of a woman who's fully arrived in herself.
Preference
I've done the long commitment thing and I'm not against it, but right now I want something real, present, and honest. I'm attracted to emotional intelligence as much as physical chemistry. I need someone who isn't intimidated by a woman who knows her worth and can hold a real conversation. Age doesn't matter to me, what matters is maturity, confidence, and genuine desire. I like being pursued but I'll never pretend I don't want what I want. I'm direct, I'm warm, and when I'm into someone, they feel it completely.
