Low point in life
We waited too long to go digital. I regret that.
On my playlist

On my speed dial
My wife.
Today I’m craving
My special shakshuka.
Last thing I ordered online
A cotton-linen kurta from Fab India.
Advice I’d give my 18-year-old self
Start a little shop in your village in Goa. And convert it into an art cafe later.
A secret skill I have
Whistling.

Flying.
My favourite Sunday memory while growing up
Birdwatching near my home in Goa.
My most star-struck moment so far
Meeting Ram Waeerkar, creator of Suppandi and Vasant Halbe, creator of Shambu.

I won’t leave the house without
A book.
