    I am not an early riser
    My day normally begins at around 8 am in the morning. After which I devote about ten minutes for my pooja and rituals. I read the Hanuman Chalisa(which is one of the most sacred books in Hindu mythology and describes the devotion of Lord Hanuman towards Sri Rama)and put Jal over Shivji. I normally stick to a very light breakfast. It's just a glass of milk with a slice of bread or some fruits.

    I have a sweet tooth
    I am not much of a foodie. I mostly stick to home food. Lunch is mostly some roti and sabzi or sometimes it could just be a sandwich. On a rating scale, I prefer Indian to Continental food. I freak out on Paneer and Chaat and also love to gorge on sweets. Occasionally, we dine out at the Mingyang at Taj Lands End, Thai Pavillion at President, and The Pizzahut at Link road.

    Traveling is mostly for work
    A few years I had all the time in the world for travel. But, nowadays traveling is mostly for work. Somehow, one doesn't really have the time to travel. Of all the places I've been till date, I love Greece. Apart from what it stands for historically, I also loved the place from a tourist angle.

    I love to collect artefacts

    I remember since the time I was in my seventh grade, I had cultivated a hobby of collecting antiques. Years back, I also used to collect old big locks, utensils, antique furniture and now artefacts. Whenever, I travel I always make it a point to pick up an antique for myself. I love shopping for shoes, watches and belts.
     

     

    Music
    Music is a great stress buster for me. I love to listen to old Hindi songs as well as western music. Some of my all-time favourites are Madonna, Michael Jackson, Cliff Richard and Boney M.

    A quiet dinner for me
    I am a family person. I don't love to party much. My idea of a great evening is a quiet dinner with my family.

     

    Reading is not my cup of tea
    All that I can ever read are newspapers and magazines. I am not the type who can read fat books and novels. It's just not my cup of tea.

    Gizmos and Gadgets
    I am not too much into trying out new gizmos and gadgets. I stick to my Nokia 6681 and my laptop.

    My Favourite Car
    I drive the Chevrolet Optra, and I am quite happy with it. But my next purchase for sure is going to be the Mitsubishi Endeavor SUV because of its well proposed shape.

    Religion
    I believe in Hanumanji and Shivji a lot and that is because my family has always had faith in them. I don't really believe in fasting much but Maha Shivratri and Hanuman Jayanti are two days in a year when I religiously fast. I go to the Shiv Mandir on Mondays and Hanuman Mandir on Tuesdays.

    Relaxing Mantra
    I don't really consider my work stressful, but that's because I forget work as soon as I am back home. Watching my 8 year old son play makes me forget everything. After an extremely busy day at work, I sometimes love to go for a long drive or a walk with my family at night.
