'I would love to be reborn as Steve Jobs'

If
given a
chance to act in a movie, which character would you like to
portray
and why?

I would
like
to portray James Bond on screen because of his larger than life
image
and style.

If you
were reborn, who would you like to be born as?

I would
love
to be reborn as Steve Jobs. His vision and the way he shaped the
trends in the IT industry is outstanding.

What is
that one thing which you would like to change in yourself?

My
impatient
nature.

What
are
the five things you cannot live without?

My family
who
supports me; books that make me think; music that calms me down;
friends who make me happy; and gadgets that keep me connected to
the
world.

What is
your most memorable moment?

It has to
be
the birth of my son. To create a life is a divine experience.

If you
could change one thing about your past, what would you change
and
why?

I would
like
to bring back my father. He should have lived longer to see me
settle
down and achieve success.

What
advice will you give to aspiring entrepreneurs?

Believe in
yourself and in the things that you do; no matter what the odds
are.

Where
do
you see yourself 5 years down the line?

A hard
working businessman, successful enough to retire in another 5
years.

If not
in
the IT industry, where would you have been and why?

I could be
a
poet or an author, a chef or may be an architect also.
Possibilities
are endless.

Please
share any memorable incident from your school/college days.

One of the
many memorable moments I cherish is when my team won the 1st
prize in
an inter-college competition for engineering projects.

Who is
your idol in life and why?

I do not
have
a single idol in life. I yearn for the character traits of some
stalwarts; like the selfless services of Baba Amte and Prakash
Amte;
the charisma of Amitabh Bachchan; intelligence of Narayana
Murthy;
and genius of Steve Jobs.

What
did
you do with your first pay check?

I bought
gifts for my family members, who had faith in what I was doing.

What
are
your weekend activities?

I like to
spend quality time with my son in addition to reading books and
catching up with friends.

What is
your success mantra?

Success is
first imagined in the mind and then brought to reality. Have
conviction in your thoughts and work hard to make your dreams
come
true.
