Travelling experience I enjoy travelling and have toured through most parts of South India. I also have the opportunity to travel regularly around the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Luxembourg, Switzerland, France, Italy, Poland, Sweden and Norway. These visits have given me valuable insights into the behaviour of immigrants and the difficulties they experience in a new socio-cultural environment. I have also travelled in Rwanda (Central Africa), the Republic of Maldives, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Korea and South Africa in connection with consultancy projects. PERSONAL INTERESTS, HOBBIES AND LEISURE PURSUITS Photography, particularly macro photography is a passion. I have been involved in producing audio visuals and videos for children. I also make jewellery from natural objects. Trekking and rock climbing is something I enjoy and indulge in over most weekends. Wine making is an important hobby! I have experimented with producing table wines from South Indian grapes and a few other tropical fruit.
