My favourite book is Start with Why by Simon Sinek. It is all about the Golden Circle of Why, How and What. It teaches us to work things inside-out by asking ourselves the reason behind things and starting with Why?

I cherish movies that touch your heart such as Taare Zameen Par. Among other commercial action flicks, I enjoyed watching The Sting and Ocean’s Eleven

I enjoy coastal Indian food especially prawn curry. I am also very fond of Chettinad chicken. I grab the chance to relish it whenever we eat out or when I am travelling 

I am a Jack of all sports. In school and college, I dabbled in cricket, football, badminton and the likes. Over the years, as a professional, I have played a lot of tennis and golf.

I enjoy visiting Paris over and over again. It is a nice mix of culture and modernity. It has The Louvre and the Pompidou Centre among other attractions. I have had some of the best times of my life in that city.
