| My interests are: |
|
| Computers, music, sports & spirituality! Medical news and the latest advances interest me a lot, particularly the way technology and Internet are revolutionising the communication and knowledge dissipation in the medical field. I cycle a lot and play many sports and am particularly good in Table tennis. Music is the soul of life and melody is the essence of sweet music. I love the soul stirring tunes and melodious songs of Hindi Films. I love Hindi golden oldies - songs sung from 50's to 80's by Lata, Mukesh, Mohd. Rafi, Manna Dey, Yesudas and who can forget, the great Kishore Kumar with R.D. Burman. Udit Narayan and A. R. Rahman (of Roja fame) are my favorites from the current Hindi music era. In English music, melodious songs by Bryan Adams, Queen, Cher take the cake. Lately, I have been introduced to Jazz music and classical instrumental concerts featuring tunes by Mozart and Bath, right here in Vancouver - I like them too. Yoga provides succour, rest and recuperation to me after this world's undue stress has taken its toll. Bhagvad Gita has the profound knowledge which guides me - the edition by S. Radhakrishnan (published by Harper Collins, India) is recommended for those who want an insight into what Gita is all about. Arya Samaj and its Vedic principles have been ingrained into me since early childhood. God is the Supreme being and I am just a negligible aspect in his scheme of things. Attaining connection with Him is my constant endeavour, One with Whom I can constantly converse, while working and living through my role in life, as ordained by Him. |
