What I like and dislike
- I like to interact with people from all walks of life cutting across all socio economic backgrounds.
- I dont like people who ask my cast and religion in the first meeting.... since it is not having any relevance!
- I like anything beautiful ( Some times girls could not escape from my stare. But it is from the eyes of a photographer in me!)... from nature to children.
- I dont like people coming out with Masks.... you naked self is more interesting than your personality!
(Persona = Mask in Greek language. Stage actors used them in ancient Greek Theaters) - I like simplicity as a great virtue and hence anything simple attracts me.
- I dont eat anything that is non-vegetarian.
- I like people with 'openness' ( less fixation ) and 'respect for others freedom'.
- People who don't give value to my time. If they make me to wait for more than 15 mints, then I would have gone!
