Outside of Work

The lighter side of the portfolio: what I watch, where I travel, the sports I grew up with, and how I reset outside work.

Outside the screen

Most days are about software, content, and developer products. Outside work, I usually come back to films, long TV sessions, cricket, short trips, and quiet weekend plans.

  • Movies & shows: I watch a lot of movies and TV shows when I get time, especially action films, spy thrillers, and long Netflix runs where one episode turns into many.
  • Cricket: I love watching cricket and used to play it a lot. It is still the sport I follow most naturally.
  • Badminton: A sport I played casually and still like for its quick, focused rhythm.
  • Football: I played football for some time when I was younger. It is not my current sport, but I still enjoy the pace of it.
  • Travel: I travel when time allows, usually to hill areas, old cities, or places with a different pace for a few days.
  • Food: I like trying new cuisines and finding good places to eat on weekends. Simple, but it works.

Gangtok streets, North Sikkim valleys, clouds over the hills, and one of my most memorable trips.

Pune

A practical city with history, cafes, students, builders, and an easy weekend pace.

India

Hyderabad

Food, old-city architecture, tech-city energy, and enough contrast to make the trip interesting.

India

Banaras

Ghats, lanes, evening light, and the kind of place that feels dense with stories.

India

Delhi

A familiar city for movement, work, old monuments, and everyday capital-city energy.

India

Lucknow

Food, old architecture, and a city that carries its culture without trying too hard.

India

Dehradun

A familiar Uttarakhand stop, close to hills, slower roads, and short-trip memories.

India

Shimla

Himachal hills, ridge walks, and the kind of town that makes time feel a little slower.

India

Rishikesh

River views, hills, cafes, and a relaxed Uttarakhand rhythm that works well for short breaks.

India

Haridwar

Ganga ghats, evening energy, and one of those places that feels rooted in ritual and movement.

India

A hill-town reset in Uttarakhand, good for walks, views, and quiet weather.

India

Amritsar

Golden Temple, old streets, and a city that feels memorable for its calm, history, and warmth.

Clean sectors, planned-city calm, and a very different city layout from most places I have visited.

Architecture, old-city color, and a place that feels visually strong even on a short trip.

A city of bridges, books, conversations, and a pace that feels very much its own.
