I live...
..in sunny San Diego. My home office doubles as the "studio" in which I write and record music and poetry. I play guitar just about enough to enjoy playing it and to write songs. I sometimes peck away at a keyboard to help with my song writing, or use GarageBand/Logic.

Am into fitness..
... daily morning cardio at the gym, and alternate day work-outs are a must! As is a nice long walk at Lake Miramar in the evenings, which is a short ride from where I live.



I read a lot..
... my favorite books are Eknath Easwaran's "Dhammapadda" and Thich Naht Hanh's "The Heart of the Buddha's Teachings" which I return to often. I love books on quantum physics, with my favorite being Doubt and Uncertainty by Tony Rothman and George Sudarshan. I also enjoy books on cognitive psychology, and two recent favorites are Richard Wright's "Buddhism is True" (ignore title; it is a book on evolutionary psychology) and David Eagleman's "Incognito". My favorite authors for escapist fiction will always remain P.G. Wodehouse and Agatha Christie, though I do enjoy science fiction. Engrossing non-fiction written without a political agenda is always welcome.
The media I consume
... is largely music from classic rock to blues. And on the rare occasions time zones and personal time permits, all things cricket. Apart from using LinkedIn for work, I have no interest in social media.
And I am very serious about my spiritual growth..
.. which to me first and foremost means leading a life of dharma (as defined in the above mentioned two favorite books) in all aspects of my life. But it also includes a daily practice of yoga in the broad sense of the word, including meditation.
