Favorite Shopping Destination I love shopping in the US and Australian stores such as Myer and David Jones which sell accessories/clothing items from renowned brands such as Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, Country Road and Paul Smith. I find value, both in terms of price and quality, while shopping in these places. Vehicle I drive Renault but as a brand, I love Honda. I once owned a Honda Sedan and would probably replace my current one with a Honda. As for my dream vehicle, I would really love to own a Mustang. Gadget I currently own an iPhone 5 and will possibly replace it with the latest version of it. However, I do like the new Samsung Galaxy S8 for its sleek and amazing design. Eating Out I have been a vegetarian for the past nine years and this has impacted my lifestyle. I hardly dine out these days. Sometimes, when I feel like eating a certain type of dish or cuisine, I love ordering through Foodmandu (they provides good options) and enjoy eating at home. I love eating out at Attic and enjoy some items from Rice & Bowl. I smell of Not an avid user but I use Versace. I love Versace Pour Homme Dylan Blue; it’s an enjoyable scent that has a sweet, citrusy vibe followed by a slight spiciness. I walk on… Clarks. I find them light and compact. I do like the Nike sports range as well.     On my wrist Recently my daughter gifted me an Emporio Armani Meccanico which I am wearing now. I have a few Tissot watches and keep switching. Shades I am using Esprit at the moment and also love Carrera and Ray Ban. Travel Destination Jomsom and Pokhara in Nepal. I love Negombo in Sri Lanka and few more places around Australia and the US. On my music playlist I love listening to Bachchu Kailash. I love some old English songs by Elvis Presley and also enjoy Kishore Kumar once in awhile. Could watch this movie over and over again Not much of a movie person, however I would go for ‘Escape from Alcatraz’. I do watch Nepali and Hindi movies with my family but it is more to give them company. My choice of poison I love drinking whisky and normally go for Black Label. I do recall the crispy taste of Blue but this is meant for real celebrations only. Favorite app I am a cricket follower. I was a player too. So it is Cricinfo. Snapchat is another one to stay connected with my daughters, friends and family. Most visited website Standardchartered.com.np to keep track of my finances. Greatest indulgence Spending quality time with my lovely wife going on long drives and weekend getaways.
