Do in Rome as the Romans do. I believe that when one goes to a new place, he has to experiment with the cuisine of that place, soak in as much as he can and explore the beauty of the place on his own instead of making a beeline for the popular tourist spots there. When I am travelling I always miss... Actually, once I have come back, I always end up missing the fact that I didn't take enough photographs of the place. My idea of paradise... A deserted island with just George Clooney and me, and lots of champagne. (laughs) My favourite hotel.. The Oberoi Mauritius Turtle Bay I can't get enough of... It'll have to be Italy! I love its people, culture, the coastline, the vineyards, the cobble streets, all its sights and sounds. I always bring back... Magnets! My daughter collects fridge magnets. I also bring back shot glasses cos' that is something that I collect. My most memorable meal... One that I had in Italy. The chef in one of the restaurants I went to knew my Dad well, so he treated us to a 20-course meal that lasted for three whole hours. (laughs) The best beach I've ever seen... Any beach in Thailand is scenic and simply amazing! I'd like to... Go deep sea fishing in Maldives, go on an African Safari and go skiing in Switzerland. My favourite view is... The one from the top of a mountain in Austria. We went to the Ice Caves where just about everything was made of ice. It had some lovely, natural ice sculptures. I'll never go back to.... Can't think of any place in particular, but I have had bad experiences in places like Chicago, South Africa and Phillipines. People and places are intertwined for me and when I don't like the people, I don't like the place either. I never travel without... my laptop and my mobile phone. My top travel tip... Make a list of things to take on your trip. When I am travelling I always miss... I mostly go in for low-budget accommodation so that I can splurge on other things while on a holiday. So, I would say that I miss sleeping on a comfortable bed. My idea of paradise... I get bored very easily, which holds good for places too. So, 'paradise' for me is any place with my good friends around me, good food and partying all night! My favourite hotel... J W Marriott, Mumbai. I spent close to three months in it. I can't get enough of... desserts, I think. But I get full eventually! (laughs) I always bring back... Artifacts! But it's more likely that I forget my things back at the holiday spot. My most memorable meal... I love the seafood in Goa and the pancakes in Thailand, but I am the kind of person that eats to live while Sweta (Keswani) is the kind who lives to eat. I have more fun watching her eat. The best beach I've ever seen... This secluded beach in Goa that I won't reveal the name of. I don't want it getting crowded now! (laughs). Also the beaches of Greece which I have visited as a child. I'd like to... Travel to Russia. I've heard many amazing things about it. And also Eastern Europe. My favourite view is... My last holiday was in Mussoorie and watching clouds rising from trees was breathtaking! https://www.deccanherald.com/Content/Dec302007/sundayherald20 07122943782.asp |
