Hi,

In order to divert everybody's attention from the stock market, I propose to start a new topic where everybody can discuss their interests and hobbies (except investing, which obviously is a common interest).

Starting with me, my main interest is reading books. Whenever I get some spare time - whether it is a 15 minute train journey to my office or half-an-hour before going to bed or when I am lying down in the bath-tub - I like to read something. My favourite books include The Alchemist, Atlas Shrugged, The Fountainhead, Les Miserables, Five Point Someone, Siddhartha, Tintin Series, Asterix & Obelix Series, Agatha Christie novels - to name a few. Currently reading "The Big Four".

In my school days, philately used to be my passion. But once I started my college, I got less and less time to devote to my hobby. And gradually my priorities changed as job, marriage, kid, etc happened and the hobby gradually faded away. I have kept my collection safely and one day I intend to start giving it some time again.

My other interests include watching sports (cricket, snooker & tennis), internet surfing, etc.
Things I don't like are shopping (it's good my wife doesn't follow TED ), parties, watching soaps.

Fellow members, please share your likes & dislikes.

Abhishek.

By crowd I hope you mean checking the number of people buying items in the stores and not checking out the "cute" crowd in the cafes.

Those days are gone really and that too a long time back.:)

Thoroughbred racing and reading books on various diverse topics.
