Travels
I enjoy traveling and visiting new places. Here is my Couchsurfing profile for some details
Quizzing
Have won several quizzes during my college time. Here is the link of the quiz foundation in my hometown, Madras/Chennai which is pretty much the quizzing hub in India.
General Stuff
Movies( have no issues about the genre of the movie expect the tripe that is made in the name of entertainment) , puzzles-suduko and crosswords, board games, soccer, music-classic and psychedelic rock, Old hindi songs. This is link to my last.fm music page.
I spent most of the money i made via quizzing and programming on books and comics . Here are some of my favorite books…they are my favorite because they have changed my attitude towards life in general. The list is a lot bigger than this.. but these are the ones that sprung to mind as i made this entry.
