I like beer, nothing else attracts me. 

I enjoy action thrillers and movies are the best way for me to relax after work. Two of my favourites are Godfather and Face Off. I loved Al Pacino and Marlon Brando’s acting in Godfather.

I like Asian food. More specifically, I like the delicate flavours of Thai, Burmese and Vietnamese cuisine.

Recently, I went to France and enjoyed the one week I spent there. I personally captained a house-boat and lived on it, touring through the canals in the Burgundy region. Next favourite destination would definitely be New Zealand with its amazing landscapes.

Speed and action thrill me, so I like watching Formula One. I was, in fact, lucky to be with Foster’s and introduce F1 in India. I watched live races two years ago and the experience was a delight.

I have two favourites — Frederick Forsyth’s The Day of the Jackal, as it is an amazing thriller, and Robert Ludlum’s The Bourne Identity, as it is a great action read.
