Cricket is one of my favourite sports. Used to play phatta at IITK which is a tennis-ball version of cricket. Not that I was a champ or anything, but it provided a lot of entertainment in the company of my friends. My bookmarks have a few links to some cricket sites.
I enjoy listening to music, anything that is pleasant to the ear. I must say I dont consider hard rock or metal something really pleasant. I do not watch much TV, but of whatever I have watched, I liked Seinfeld's show very much.
As far as reading goes, I am not a voracious reader. Rather than say what I like, I can better say what I do not like. I do not like horror, fantasy, neither do I like Science Fiction. I have unsuccesfully tried to come to grips with these. I like something which is down-to-earth, if you know what I mean. Something which has a hint of romance in it, if possible. Jeffrey Archer has been my favourite author to date. I also liked Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice very much. Talking of reading, Ramesh Mahadeven's articles make for some interesting reading.
I also like playing bridge. Back at IIT, Kanpur, I picked up this wonderful game in the company of my friends. After a long time, I am back at it again here. I also like solving crosswords, the cryptic kind. But, in the past year, I have not devoted much time to this hobby of mine.
