Am nuts about Cricket and have represented Trichy District.Was a Leg Spinner/Middle Order Batsman.I have now retired(!)from the Game and am, to put it with all humility, second only to Geoff Boycott in my understanding of the Game's nuances! Love watching the NBA.Jersey No:23 is my all-time favourite. Love travelling, cooking (!), watching Plays (LIVE!), reading investment-related books, Cars & Bikes, playing Bridge,collecting Nakamichi Tape Decks, Egyptian Giza Cotton shirts,Rado Watches,Delsey Bags, Mont Blanc Pens, Colognes, .......etc etc. I learnt to play the Mridangam from one of the finest exponents of the King of percussion instruments.Am trying my hand at the Tabla and Keyboard now! I am very fond of Carnatic Music (Mostly the GNB school and Mad Max Madurai Mani!) Love listening to Western stuff too-from Santana, Dire Straits (I heard the ''Sultan of Swing'' Mark Knopfler LIVE at Mumbai on 5th March 2005 and he was AWESOME. It was a surreal experience ! One of my Life's ambitions achieved ! ), Eric Clapton and Pink Floyd ( Heard Roger Waters perform on 18 Feb 2007 - Another Life's ambition achieved ) to Jim Reeves, Pat Boone and the Beatles-eclectic tastes ? U Bet ! Love the Hindi Oldies by Rafi,Manna Dey,Mukesh and Kishore Kumar.Am fond of A.M.Rajah and PBS(Love to shake the great Man's hand at Woodlands when I go there!WHAT A VOICE!)Am crazy about Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and his traditional,soul-stirring Sufi stuff which transports the listener to a higher plane.

Hi Rajat, Nice reading your review. Yesterday a friend got a 1 lit bottle for me from LHR for 99 pounds - equivalent to abt Rs. 8450 not quite Rs. 5700 but a fair deal I feel. Im excited about trying it out. Being a Single Malt guy, it would be interesting to sample a blend after ages. read more...
