Random Thoughts: I`m laid back, have a reasonable sense of humour (or so I`m told), enjoy travel and cooking. Have had the good fortune of travelling on almost all the continents, be it driving (a passion) from dallas to new new york or from san francisco to vancouver. Have backpacked all over Europe as a student and done the Eurail in parts. Been once to South America and been dreaming ever since of returning.

I enjoy cooking, its a great energy release and by some miracle most of what I conjure up is actually edible (well most times).

Spend a fair amount of time studying and then working abroad, have recently moved back and now spend most of my time in Delhi and Chandigarh (folks live there)...manage my investments business but my heart lies in starting a bar/cafe somewhere in goa..so really researching that a bit

Ummm I`m big on reading, anything goes. Ayn Rand was a favourite at some point in time but my loyalties to authors are fickle, transition easily from lord archer to fredrick forsyth to sidney sheldon ( yes, even him!) to mario puzo to archie comics to astreix to old stardust ( yeah you read that right) and whatever else catches my fancy. Last book was Da Vinci Code, loved it.Dan Brown is simply brilliant.

Favorite Reading: Fiction,autobiographies,bit of history,if it`s riveting-I will read-irrespective of genre.Many favs spawning genres.Fountain Head,Love Story,Da Vinci Code,Shantaram,
Favorite Writers: Anything by Grisham,Archer,Forsyth,Dalrymple...anything to do with history etc
