Hormuz Dadabhoy ’14

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at U Toronto chapter.

Name: Hormuz Dadabhoy
Program: Asia Pacific Studies, Semiotic Anthropology and Environmental Studies
College: Victoria
Year: Second
Hometown: Mumbai, India
 
Extra-Curricular Involvement: House President in both first and second years, play squash, swim, ride, and am a member of the Victoria College Council and the Victoria University Senate. Also a campus tour guide and Residence Don in the upcoming academic year. 
 
How do you relieve stress? I play squash, swim, and watch 1970’s British comedy shows such as Fawlty Towers, Yes Minister, and Black Adder. However, with that being said I don’t seem to experience the intense stress that other students speak of. 
 
If you could travel to any place in the world this instant, where would it be? Canada’s north, Nunavut in particular. Or Mauritania, and that’s because it has some of the longest trains in the world.
 
What immediately comes to mind when you think of U of T? Ivy
 
Pet peeves? Unpunctuality mainly. But on the whole I’m a fairly easy going person.  
 
What are the most important things you look for in a relationship? Someone with whom you can have good conversations, fun, and just generally be yourself around. In all honesty, I’m not really looking for anything, it’s more an emotional reaction that I can’t put my finger on. 
 
What traits do you most admire in a girl? Intelligence, and especially spontaneity and humour. 

 

Favourite movie and/or celebrity you most idolize? John Cleese. 
 
Favourite Movie: Forrest Gump
 
Career you wished for as a child: Formula One racing driver, engine driver, or bus driver. Basically, I really like mechanical things.  
 
What you hope to become now and other noteworthy future plans? I am going to China in the summer where I will be taking a course and writing a field research paper. After university, I could either shack in my parent’s basement and play with my train set for the rest of my life OR become an investigative journalist/lawyer and change the world in whatever capacity I can.

Natalie has recently completed her second year at the University of Toronto with a double major in History and Ethics, Society, and Law. She is excited to bring Her Campus to U of T and seeing it expand its presence in Canada. She is also active in the school's Model United Nations circles and numerous organizations off campus and is best described as a political and pop culture junkie. Born and raised in Toronto, she is blindingly proud of everything the city has to offer including the best school in the country, no matter what Macleans says, and its sports teams, no matter how many times they may lose or miss the playoffs.
