My interests & hobbies ...

I suppose very similar to most folks ... travelling, music, cinema, and all that crazy stuff on reality TV.  

I am a total nut case when it comes to music from India/Pakistan (every kind especially Punjabi and Indipop remix ... but I also like Sufi and Devotional type music). 

I try to stay healthy (TRY).  I run & walk for 15 long minutes (once every other month).  Currently in my 10th year of losing my last 5 pounds.  Pray for me people!

Theme parks are my guilty pleasure (living in LA has something to do with it ... Universal Studios, Disneyland, Six Flags).  Battling long lines, rowdy crowds just for a 5 minute thrill ride with friends.  
 
Finally, what would life be without this crazy thing called movies.  Good, bad, ugly, or cheesy ... it don't matter mate.  Mindless fun!  We need it more than we wish to acknowledge (I plead guilty).

If you can find time these days to read books, hats off to ya.  I honor you with my admiration.

Once again ... way too many to list.  

For sure a bigger fan of Directors than Actors (the true creative force behind the magic of movies).  I will appreciate anything from the creative minds of today's visionary directors from all over the world (Peter Jackson, Ramin Bahrani, Imtiaz Ali ... just to name a few).  

Okay ... fine.  You still want to see my list of Top Five best films of last 25 years (from Hollywood).   Here is my list:

1.  Say Anything (1989)
2.  Back to the Future (1985)
3.  Out of Africa (1985)
4.  House of Sand and Fog (2003)
5.  Chicago (2002)

Note: the list above is subject to change (depending upon what mood I am in and how bad a day I had at work).  Also, I am still working on my Bollywood list.  Will have one ready real soon.
