| Hobbies and Interests My hobbies are seasonal although interests have been rekindled some or other time. Initially it was philately and numismatics (i have given or lost my collection), then I "used to" listen to radio (Radio stations like VOA, BBC, Deutsche Wille, ABC )during the end of my teenage years. It started with listening to Hindi Film music and then just went on to other stations Some which i still have interest is collecting Music (Audio cassettes and CD's; i am more inclined to Indian classical music, Indian songs, Classic Pop and rock - Beatles,Carpenters,Cliff richards,......such "gOldies" stuff. A very good website is that of Harry S Anchan. My subjects of interest have moved from mythological, occult science, religious topics to arts,tradition, history, music and culture.. especially of kerala. The subject of reading mainly depends on what my mind is interested in knowing about at that time. Travelling I like to travel.But time, finance and mode being major factors my travels have been mainly by train and and on my motorcycle. And getting a good enthusiatic companion is also a luck. It is here i would i like to mention my Late friend Suresh with whom I did most of my intial travelling on Motorbike. His travellogues has some useful tips for motorbikers. Ironically the tip he forgot to mention took his life ..ie Do not drink and drive. After Suresh, I have mostly travelled alone on my motorcycle. Occasional travellers include my wife lekshmi, and Prasanth. Genealogy In between i got interested in genealogy. I tried to some ancestory trees of my family as well as that of ruling family of the Travancore Dynasty. I also spent a lot of time browsing the web.My bookmarks can be accessed here |
