  • If there is one place you can keep going back to for a holiday, where would it be?

    A very predictable answer, New York. It’s an incredible place. Everyday is a special experience, just walking on those streets gives one a high!

  • Tell us three good things about travelling.

    Interesting people, unforgettable sights and lip smacking food.

  • When you travel, what is a must carry for you?

    Nothing is a must! Just me ! No attachments!

  • When and where did your best holiday happen?

    South Africa – what a place to go!

  • As a traveller, what’s your tip for the others?

    No place is not worth travelling to. Just keep an open mind, and let the desire of experiences burn within you.

  • A colleague/co-worker from your industry with whom you would like to go on a holiday.

    Samir Gangahar, the Delhi Head of Burnett. He is an old friend and we like similar things.

  • Have you ever been surprised by the taste of food, outside India? Where?

    Everywhere – pleasantly and some unpleasantly. I am obsessed with food and can try anything.

  • Which has been the most unique destination that you ever visited. When and why?

    The place where the Indian special forces train – need I say more?

  • What has been your ‘Life me ek Baar’ moment?

    Playing with lion cubs.

  • Tell us how have you managed to make a journey fun.

    When I started, I was the “spoilt for good food” guy and everyone would laugh at the tuck I would pack. But one night on the cliffs of Mukteshwar, I sat on a rock and hosted the best gourmet evening. After a day of Maggi, that was a treat!

  • What has been your worst travel moment? Why?

    I was in Paris the day Carlos got arrested. It was scary and weird. Being stopped every five minutes and being asked for papers. It wasn’t nice. I always have my passport with me, since then.

  • What is the best souvenir you ever bought for anyone?

    Don’t think I ever have. Doesn’t make me a very nice guy!

  • What is your ‘Life me ek Baar’ vacation, that you would definitely want to go on?

    Antarctica.
