Hobbies
I love travelling having had multiple opportunities to do so during my Sabbatical and in my free
time during 2000 and 2005. I am able to converse in Telugu. My interests include Indian
Philosophy, carnatic sangeetam and trying extreme sports such as kite surfing and snowing
boarding. The past few years I have been systematically studying Vedic Vaishnava philosophy,
meditation and bhakti yoga.
