Vinayak’s Though Vinayak is innovative and creative in his professional life, he is old fashioned when it comes to his personal life. He does not have a TV set at home because he feels that the idiot box takes away a lot of time which a family should be spending together. He also believes in the age-old dictum ‘early to bed and early to rise’ and manages to implement it in letter and spirit, despite hectic socialising. ‘Families which holiday together stay together’ is another rule he strictly follows and the family’s favourites holiday spots are wildlife sanctuaries, heritage villas and the trekking routes around Delhi. Health foods are another passion for a man who practises everything the way yogis of yore practised their ‘sidhi". For Pete’s sake He has

According to a research carried out in America (where else?), nagged spouses live longer than their not-so-nagged ones.

securitymen were nowhere in sight and Robert and Priyanka
looked and behaved like other guests. They placed their
order most discreetly and sat around a table laughing and
joking among themselves. However, the lady must have been
conscious about the stares she must be getting from other
guests for she kept her face averted throughout her stay
at the Club bar. Whenever any one tried to get near her
table for a closer look, she covered her face with a
napkin. Apparently, the lady is a little embarrassed by
all the (unwanted?) attention that she has been getting.

He runs the highly successful Feedback Ventures with his
wife, Rumjhum, his batchmate in Ahmedabad. He has also
been a strategic adviser to several Indian states in the

importantly be virtually unbeatable like his idol. Sanam
Singh, a class VII student, is not only thinking big but
is also training himself vigorously. Besides tennis,
cross-country running is his passion. "It is good
for my stamina," he avers, dismissing all the gold
medals that he has won in 5-km races in the recent past.
Little Sanam thinks that a strict physical regime is a
must for every tennis player and contends that very soon
Indians will start making their mark in international
tennis too, like they have in golf. Well, with dedicated
souls like you, we are sure that this will happen as soon
as you grow up enough!
