The entire James Herriot series is my absolute favourite. I started reading them when I was in grade 9 and I still go back to them repeatedly. I must have read it at least 15 times. Especially those in the All Things collection.

Mani Ratnam's Alaipayuthey is of special significance to me. My wife and I watched it together when she was pregnant with our first child. Our daughter Madhura was born soon after so it remains special to me for that memory.

I am a complete foodie. Since I travel so much around the world on work, I never miss a chance to check on something new that's cooking. But my favourite remains Mexican since it is complex and diverse, no different from what we see in India!

London is my favourite destination. I love the vibe of the city. I enjoy spending time in the museums, the countryside that is never too far away and of course, make it a point to check the culinary scene without fail.

I was just five years old when my father first gave me a puppy! Since then, I have always been a dog lover. I have 23 dogs now and I intend to adopt many more.
