Interests
I love reading books. A lot. I love escaping reality (in short, healthy spurts) in favour of astounding, make-belief worlds craftily constructed by clever worded authors. Among my favourite authors are Agatha Christie, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Dan Brown, George R. R. Martin, J. K. Rowling, J. R. R. Tolkien, P. G. Wodehouse, Roald Dahl, and Sidney Sheldon.
I also love listening to music. It helps bring me up when I'm a little down, or bring me down when I'm a bit too up. You can check if we have similar taste in music by viewing my playlist here.
When I'm not reading or listening to music, I love to watch a good movie. You can see my list of favorite movies here.
I occasionally take to writing as well, but I can assure you, I don't write very well. Nonetheless, I enjoy praise, deserved or undeserved, sycophantic or otherwise and so, I will share my writings with you. Since I'm too lazy to start a blog, I just post them on facebook. Here is a link to the same, or, if you prefer, links to individual pieces:
I have a few more, but they are a bit embarassing. I have them in password-protected MS Word files, stowed away on my portable hard drive. And no, you can't see them. Just so you know.
I would love to get suggestions of great (or at least pretty good) books, songs or movies from you. Here is a link to a suggestions form for the same. If you find that to be too much of a hassle (I don't see how), you may simply drop off your suggestion via the various contact mechanisms listed on the contact page. Any good suggestion is liable to be rewarded with a hearty hug from me.
