1. What do you eat in a day?
I eat papaya, dal, chicken/paneer, veg stir-fry or light sabzis, roti, rice, peanuts and dahi.
2. How do you stay fit?
I do yoga and lift weights mostly.
3. What do you do in your me-time?
Doing things that get me off the internet. Wandering around the garden with a mug of coffee, checking every morning for new leaves and new buds, weeding, pruning, training creepers on to walls and fences is pure, rejuvenating bliss. I also paint walls and furniture—the smell of water-based paint is lovely. It costs so little and yet a new lick of paint literally wipes the slate clean and is so therapeutic for a cluttered mind. Chatting with my grown-up children is great, too. They are living the life I used to live long ago—with clients and bosses and love interests. It is very interesting to see the adult world through their Gen Z lens.
4. One unhealthy thing you will never be caught doing?
Drugs!
5. One mantra you swear by?
Never overeat or over-imbibe alcohol on holiday—it is the fastest way to totally ruin your much-anticipated vacation.
