crazy about anything that runs at 25fps... FILMS!! Love music (all kinds) esp modern jazz, lebanese (they make great music along with food!!), and love to read (amitav ghosh, robin cook, stephen king)... have a weakness for travelogues - bill bryson, pico iyer... love to eat thai, lebanese, mediterranean, italian, punjabi (nothing beats a butter chicken/rajma chawal) & bengali cuisine. anything that moves at 25 frames per second = films... anything that makes music to the ears, and eating... if food be the music of life... travelling...
