Hobby

Traveling with family, enjoyment of delicious foods and listing music are my hobbies.

Traveling

Travelling acts as a relaxing tool in midst of my hard work. There is mandatory escape for my family and me in the months of October / November to some new place where warmth of nature invades everything at its path. It is sometime difficult to find such places. My blossom friend Internet, flutter me to find such places with there details and road map. My wife’s harmonious company makes the journey quite relaxing, safe and most important cherish able. It helps my kid to make a good and soft habit. We like to visit cold hilly areas that demolish my fatigueless. We have already covered the almost entire Himalaya range.

All the above theory breaks when I think about Puri. The mesmerizing beauty of sand and sea speaks for itself. This beauty appeals me so much that I with my family have to land twice a year to cherish this unbeatable combination ….

Now I am in New Delhi, which is full of monuments which match with my son’s study book that encourages him very much.  So my next task is to shoot these places and experience its beauty.

Food

Food is one of my major interests and I do experiment a lot with it. Vegetables are good for health but still I prefer to be a non vegetarian. My favourite dish is Chicken Biriyani. My son, Avinaba and my wife, Sarmishtha both like it too. But my wife prefers mutton over chicken. Therefore, my family is a complete Biriyani freak and I term us as a complete `Biriyani Family`. Besides Nawabi foods I do consume dishes like chili chicken, prawn fried rice, fish pakora, prawn malai and others.

Music

For me music acts as a stress buster and it provides me zeal to bring the best in me. Playing music always impresses me to concentrate in my job. The melodious tunes of Rabindra Sangeet soothe my ears and rejuvenate me. The harmonies of Mukesh, Kishor Kumar, Hemanta Mukhejee, Manna Dey, Indranil Sen, Indrani Sen  appeals me too.

Modern songs from Mohabbatein, Bhool Bhoollia, Saberia and Rang De Bashanti also left an impression in me.
