My favourite book is Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson, primarily for the insights we gain about Jobs’ working style and ideology. He was a legendary leader and his thought process was commendable. I personally relate to his vision of finding out what customers want. Often, these may be things they don’t even know about.

The Pursuit of Happyness is a movie very close to my heart. Not just the story but Will Smith’s performance in the film, in particular, is touching and poignant. It is a family movie whose message will never get old.

I love water, which is why I enjoy swimming. I swim at least twice a week when I am at home and even when I am travelling, I try to get in a few laps at the hotel pool. It’s a great stress-buster.

I particularly enjoy North Indian food, especially home-cooked black dal and rice. In fact, I even order dal and rice when I eat out. But I am also fond of Japanese cuisine, sushi in particular.

 Thailand is a country I can never tire of. My favourite holiday location is Phuket and I was there just two months ago. I prefer travelling there with my family, spending time with my kids and getting spa treatments. Within India, Srinagar is a favourite destination.
