The Shawshank Redemption. I love it for its powerful storyline that celebrates the unbreakable human spirit in the face of adversity. With beautifully woven themes of hope, friendship and resilience and stellar performances that bring depth and emotion; it’s a timeless masterpiece that stays with you.
Favourite Sport
I used to play squash quite regularly, and it quickly became addictive. It’s an intense, fast-paced game that challenges your reflexes and stamina while being fun, competitive and incredibly rewarding to play. Even today, I find it a great metaphor for staying agile, focused and mentally sharp under pressure.
Favourite Cuisine
Having grown up on it, Kerala cuisine holds a special place for me. Its rich variety and comforting familiarity makes it deeply satisfying and a timeless favourite that I never get tired of. The flavours evoke not just taste but memories, culture and a deep sense of home and belonging.
Favourite Holiday Destination
Europe, especially the French Riviera, is known for its stunning towns and beautiful beaches. I love its serene landscapes; the place is a perfect blend of relaxation, rich history and breathtaking scenery. Every visit feels like stepping into a postcard.
