Music

I like sentimental hindi songs. "Our sweetest songs are thos, that tell of saddest thoughts"! Kishore and Mukesh are my favourite singers.
When I am in a party mood, I like songs with good solid beats so that I can tap my feet!

Reading

Reading is my hobby. I read without discretion, ie I read what ever I can lay my hands on. From computers to philosophy, religion to immunology.
I love science fiction and A C Clarke is my hot favourite.


And last but not the least, I love sleeping and dreaming!!!!
