I prefer old classic movies of all kinds. But if I had to pick just one or two favourites, I would say that I loved watching Do Aankhen Baarah Haath and The Matrix the most. 

I loved reading The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle because of its similarity to the Bhagvad Gita and its lesson of teaching us to live in the present moment to the fullest of our capability. 

I enjoy eating Thai and Chinese food, especially of the Cantonese variety. The thing with Indian cuisine is that we cook our food a lot, whereas Cantonese cooking maintains the flavour of all the ingredients well. 

Since a lot of my work involves being in and around Hong Kong, Shanghai and Singapore and we have a lot of friends in these destinations, I enjoy visiting those places more often. 

I used to play hockey in school and still enjoy watching it. I am sure that the Indian Hockey League and the national team’s successful streak will revive the love of hockey back to the country.
