I've been enthusiastic in lapping up whatever came my way and enjoying myself in the activity - something for which I got the nickname of 'Enthu' during my days in the University.

Writing
As a student, I wrote poems in English and in Hindi. Since Class XI (1993), I've been wanting to write a novel. Someday...(Poems & writings)

 

Public Speaking/Debating
I started speaking in Elocutions and Debates since Middle School. In NTU, I particiated in Inter-Hall/School Debates. I was member of the Inter-Varsity Debating Squad, AIDA-certified Adjudicator and President of the NTU Debating Society, 1998-99 (Debating Page)

 

Modeling
I gave a shot at modeling recently (along with my wife) when we had a two-day shoot for the Singapore Tourism Board for a 5-minute film in May 2004 and another one for an MTV TV series in July 2004. (Modeling Page)

   

Spirituality/Religion
Religion has always fascinated me. As I grew up, I tried to read the holy books, particularly the Bhagavad Gita. I visited temples, churches, monastries and mosques; got influenced by the Art of Living foundation and Iskcon. Mahatma Gandhi & Swami Vivekananda are my inspiration (more...).

 

Reading
I enjoy reading autobiographies - helps me understand what the great people did to make their lives more meaningful than those of their contemporaries (more...)

 

Photography
I am not a very good photographer but do have an amateur interest in photography. I had bought a Pentax MZ50. The current SLR I own is Canon Elan IIE (50E) (more...)

   

Music
I always thought I could sing - unfortunately, nobody else did. Well, I still sing to my wife. I am a listener of Hindi music - Lata Mangeshkar is the ultimate (we have a common birthday). I do listen to Western music and classical music when I am in the mood for something different (Music Page)

 

Politics/World Affairs
I am interested in the politics of nations. As a child, I used to think Jawaharlal Nehru achieved the maximum in life because he was the first Prime Minister of free India. I do follow current affairs. (Politics Page)

 

Movies
There have been years when I have hardly watched any movies, while there have been others when I have been a complete movie-buff (Movies Page)

 

   

Others
Someday, maybe I will act in a movie or be a news presenter for Televison (more...)

 

Painting
My most important hobby (Paintings Page)
