Hi Everyone!
I am a rather new member of this forum and I have LOVED it so far
I am a wanderlust and I love travelling. My favourite companion is my 2003 Royal Enfield Thunderbird. I have been travelling on it to many parts of our country. The longest ride has been a Delhi-Kanyakumari-Delhi ride in Jan 2009. It was a 21 day 7200 Kms ride, an amazing and a tiring experience. I went to Kanyakumari again this year only to spend a week in Kerala. Kerala is one of my favourite places in this country, it surely is God's own country!! I have never been to Leh and thats something on my to-do list. I try to travel as much as I can. A dream ride is to travel across continents some day in life. Riding is a form of meditation for me, I find peace when I am riding in to a new place, its an escape for me.. an escape from all the chaos in a city like Delhi.. when I meet new people it gives me pleasure like no other. It has been a life changing hobby for me, it has changed the way I live my life. I am a proud member of the Delhi bullet club - Royal Beasts
Another hobby, which co-exists rather nicely with riding is Photography. Its quite nice to see a lot of photographers. I know the true camera fans from yesteryears have not liked digitization of cameras that nicely.. but I thinks its great! People from all classes have benefitted from it and so have I. The money spent these days are only on the camera and the memory card.. No needs for rolls everytime.. I am a proud Nikonian, however I respect all the other cameras too.. My first camera was a Nikon D40, which I unfortunately lost in Goa on the 2009 Del-K'kumari'Del trip. I was determined to buy another camera and was finally able to collect enough money for a D90. I bought it in Nov 2009 along with Nikkor 70-300 VR and Tokina 50-135 f2.8(a great VFM DX potrait lens for $500). I also have the Nikon 18-55 from D40(it had 55-200 VR when I lost it). Of all the things I usually click, I love capturing emotions the most.
The next hobby, well If you want to consider it as a hobby is to EAT. I am a self-confessed foodie. A not-so-good thing about me is I don't like to share my food.. call it kiddish, I just never could bring myself to share my food with ANYONE. PERIOD. Delhi is THE PLACE to be if one is a foodie...
Since I have been a kid, I have loved my movies. I try to catch them in multiplexes and watch it on my laptop when I have either missed it or if the movies did not make it to the Indian screens. I watch all genres of movies, well almost all.. not a big fan of horror movies. I am a fan of Tarantino, Client Eastwood, Judd Apatow, Spielberg and Farhan Akhtar movies. I am really happy that bollywood is make some really nice movies lately. There are some movies that I can watch any time.. like Shrek, Matrix, Sin City, Andaz Apna Apna, Gladiator, a LOT more that I rather not mention. My parents and I are moving into a new place soon and hence I will work on a LONG LONG time dream.. a hometheater. I will soon start a thread on my project and will look forward on everyone's input on it.
I have always loved watching TV series. Not much to choose from the Indian telly these days anyways.. Some of the TV series from the west I follow are Family Guy, How I met your mother, Its always sunny in Philadelphia, The Big Bang Theory. Some discontinued series that I completely loved were Friends(who didnt?), That 70s Show, Arrested Development and Freaks&Geeks. Like many of us, I have faint memory of the good old DD serials.. malgudi was a favourite, looking forward to acquiring the DVD set that is in market these days..
MUSIC, well I don't listen to music as much as I would like. But I do love them, I am a big fan of 60s and 70s music. I still remember the two years I spent in Hyderabad.. dim lights, old monk rum and Pink Floyd.. Some of my favourite bands are CCR,The Who, Pink Floyd, Doors, Bob Dylan,Beatles.. you get the idea, right? I also like some of the bollywood songs.. the most recent favourite being iktara from Wake Up Sid. From bollywood.. I love AR Rahman and RD the most. I also like some of the Pakistani bands - Fuzon, Jal and Entity Paradigm.
Well, thats me.. in a nutshell.
Have not uploaded a lot of pictures on Flickr, however you can add me on Facebook.. got more pictures there.
