About Me
I am now in my early fifties but thanks to regular outdoors and sports, feel quite energetic and young.
My father was an Army man from the Gurkha Rifles and I am quite seeped in the fauji culture. I criss crossed the nation in my kid days. Joined the Indian Navy, through the NATIONAL DEFENCE ACADEMY in 1969.
I served in the Indian Navy for 22 years, quit and joined the Merchant Navy. Presently I work for the Offshore Oil Industry (ONGC) and am a Captain (Master Mariner)on board Offshore Ships.
I was married in 1974 .
My wife enjoys playing Golf and has a few Championships under her belt, including the Kirlosker Salver championship i 2005. It helps when two tango together in one’s marriage, especially on the Golf Course!
Nowadays I enjoy my Golf game and networking with my friends and fellow reviewers on Mouthshut. It is good fun!

Interests
My interests are many. Travelling, photogrophy, outdoor sports. Have played most sports at competetive level during my school days (Tennis, Squash, Swimming, Sailing,) as well as at the National Defence Academy/Indian Navy and continue to play sports to this day. These days I stick to Golf. I do believe that sports should be an integral part of ones lifestyle.
The Navy taught me to SCUBA DIVE. I have dived in the coral reefs in Andamans/Nicobar Islands, Lakshadweep, Maldives, Seychelles and was an avid underwater photographer till about 1985. I used to show my underwater slides at various seminars and was invited often to talk about my Adventures Under the Sea.
