I like reading human history and evolution. These two genres excite me the most. The Ascent of Man and The Ascent of Money are two of my favorite books. I also enjoy reading allegorical to lighten up my day; The Alchemist is my all-time favourite.

I am an ardent follower of Hollywood classics based on wars from the 60s. Some of my favorites are Oscar winning films Ben-Hur and The Guns of Navarone. Whenever I get the opportunity, I also like to watch some Tamil flicks, my all-time favorite being Nayakan.

My idea of a vacation always involves travelling to the mountains; it gives me a sense of peace and tranquility. The high altitude, scenic landscape, calm and serene surrounding, is my perfect definition of rejuvenation.

I am a complete sports enthusiast. Being an Indian, we are born followers of cricket and I am no different. Apart from cricket, I enjoy playing tennis and badminton as well.

I relish Indian and Italian cuisine the most. Since I travel a lot, I keep experimenting with various cuisines across the globe.
