In addition to his banking career, he has interest in Politics, Sports and is an avid reader. Such is his interest in politics that he can talk and analyse the internal political environment for all 29 states quite comfortably. Infact for 2014 parliamentary elections he was one of the very few guys who’d announced a single party majority five months in advance. Friends jokingly tell him that he’s more suited for a career as political analyst rather than career in banking but he rubbishes it stating profession and hobby can’t be mixed.
Having started his own career as a bond trader, “Shortchanged by life” is his first attempt at writing, wherein he’s tried to bring the life of a trader to masses through a cocktail of movements in financial markets, a bit of politics and romance.
Shades of his own life are evident but the story is not his own in entirety. Having grown up in North India during 1990s when the country was going through the Mandal and Kamandal turmoil, he’s lived some of the events captured in the book, either in his own life or through some of his friends.view less
