Interests

Traveling, reading and exploring new places and ideas.

Train journeys, long Drives, and thrill Rides.

Telling a funny story or a hilarious joke.

Jumping out of the box.

Being controversially and self-contrastingly opinionated.

Sitting alone in a crowded-noisy place and reading a book.

Watching rain and sipping hot tea.

Yawning after sleeping for 16 hours at a stretch.

Analyzing a ton of bland data and converting it into straight-forward actionable information (my job).

Reading between the lines, exploring behind the scenes and digging the roots of the causes.

Philosophizing the simplest of things and simplifying the most complicated of solutions.

Watching a good game (any sport) with a beer and an engaging crowd.

Spicy and flavorful food. Red wine and cheese. Cucumber dipped in lemon and red chili powder.

Admiring Sachin Tendulkar's Brilliance and Shewag's casual sixes. Now that both are out of the game, I make do with Dhoni's smacking.

Bollywood'€™s Songs and Khushwant Singh'€™s Books.

Cooking Matar Paneer.

Taking pictures.

A winning game of Snooker, Bowling, Pool or Roulette.

Playing leisurely on the Golf course. Smashing it on the Badminton court. Full squats in the Gym. Explosive dashes towards the goal on the football field. Diving in the the Cricket ground.

Watching a Wild Card beat the hell out of a grand slam champion (Tennis).

Day dreaming about my country being most powerful and prosperous in the world.

Watching Brazil win the world cup. ... well 2014 was different ...

oh and nothing beats an early morning run. ...
