Dine out, order in, or cook a meal on weekends?

Eat whatever my cook makes at home.

Can: cook a five-course meal/a sandwich/boil water/don’t know how the gas works.

Cannot cook a five-course meal, but can make some desi dishes. Poha is my favourite.

On weekends: work out like it’s just another day/go easy/exercise…what’s that?

I want to cheat, but end up working out.

Strictly salads and grilled chicken, or cheese/chocolate cheat for the weekend?

Always chocolate and cheese.

A TV show you could watch reruns of all Sunday.

Two, actually – Sherlock and House Of Cards.

Where do you party?

House parties are the best.

Where do you love getting breakfast?

Moshe’s, Juhu.

Some complicated Iced Frappe person or straight up espresso person?

Straight up Americano, always. I am a black coffee lover.

Cosmopolitan or whisky on the rocks?

I am a whisky person.

One street food that makes my day.

Samosa and chai.

Party till dawn or wake up for yoga at dawn?

Neither. Play cricket at dawn instead.

Books, music or movies?

Books, music and movies – in that order.

Couch potato or painting the town red?

Couch potato.

Board games or outdoor sports?

Outdoor sports, hands down.
