hello one and all! i just held freida pinto as "the mid-life crisis" so i'd like to introduce her to you all to get lines while i work on knocking out her bio!

padma malil is 32 years old and currently working at a book store as a clerk. she very recently (like in the last eight months) finalized a divorce from her husband of six years (

kristophr) because he came out to her and told her that he was gay. he's always known he was and married her because of his father's expectations of him. but that news essentially sent her spiraling (hence the mid-life crisis). so she quit her job and just started doing random, off the wall, very not like her jobs to try and find something she loved doing. think "eat. pray. love." without all the traveling and eating. she's originally from london, came to the states for a foreign exchange program her senior year and after she finished schooling she applied and was accepted to an american university and hasn't left since.

now, i could really use help figuring out what she studied in school and what the job she just quit was. she's a very caring, compassionate and loving individual who would give you the shirt off her back if she could, so i was thinking something in teaching maybe? i know there are a few of them around here, yeah? i'm honestly open to any kind of suggestion on that front. GOT IT. she studied electrical engineering and computer sciences at mit and after graduation she started working for a computer firm here in nyc, but decided that line of work was too cut-throat for her so she quit and started teaching computer science at james madison high school in brooklyn. i'm gonna say she started there around the age of 26, so she was there for five years before she filed for divorce in march of this year. at the end of the school year she decided she didn't want to work there anymore and quit.

i'd also really like to get all kinds of friends that she's made from her odd jobs. she's a friendly person who doesn't really judge a book by its cover so she'll talk to anyone at least once. people who introduce her to new things would be absolutely amazing as well! anything and everything you have to suggest do so! let's work it out.

Devon wrote a book roughly a year or two ago entitled Walvis Bay Contraband which was half fiction and half non-fiction which relates slightly to her situation. He wrote about how he identified mostly as straight then all of a sudden he ran into a guy that challenged his sexuality, his heart, etc etc. I say all of this to propose them meeting at the book store or somewhere, and maybe she identified him by the book? He's a radio personality/author/columnist. Think Dr. Drew's Loveline situation.

If that doesn't work, we could simply say they ran into one another at the book store.

	no, i could totally see her reading that book and recognizing him from his picture in the back and striking up a conversation from there. the things in the book could be one of the things helping her to come to terms with it all and be able to forgive kris and talk to him again etcetc (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He's much better at giving advice than taking his own, but he could always be an ear for her as well. Whether it's about Kris or anything else in life. He loves meeting new people and could definitely use friends around. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	she'd feel awkward talking to him about it but after a few times of getting coffee might loosen up enough to say something? she'd love to be his friend! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He's a rather comical person to be around. He's theatrical in the way he talks with his hands (and facial expressions) so I'm sure she'll halfway be amused at him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ellis is 30 and also a transplant from London. She moved here ten years ago to go to Columbia and has a Masters now in Journalism and Sociology. Maybe they knew each other from 'home', even though Padma is a couple years older? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	That's complicated. Her mom was a housewife who married someone else and started a second family when her dad left when Ellis was a couple weeks old. Her dad is a 'famous' journalist in London, son of some landed family, who hid the fact he had a kid out of wedlock. So I'm afraid the family connection wouldn't work :( (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She could have been anything from a teller to a phone customer service rep... or even worked in an IT related field. Pretty much all of banking relies on computers now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
