I feel traveling is very passive these days. Everything I need when I travel I can do easily with my phone. Even if I don’t talk with a single person on the street, I can ‘successfully’ visit a new country. Traveling thus could become just a mere extension of what I see about the place on internet. Ironic enough, Couchsurfing is on the same phone, but somewhat neutralizes this reality.

Music.., I’m not sure if I have a favorite genre or musician. But I often listen to Carnatic, Hindustani, western classical, blues, folk, acoustic rock, hard rock etc depending on the mood. Movies..., I’m more a fan of documentaries than movies. I do watch movies, but I’m choosy except if I’m going out for a movie with friends or I’m watching to learn a language and familiarize with the culture. Books..., my ‘to read’ list is 90% non-fiction.
