I am a lawyer. I practice indirect taxation laws predominantly these days though I have had exposure to corporate, civil and constitutional litigation. Along with practicing laws, I teach legal aptitude to aspirants for five year law school entrance exams. These days I am involved in a preparation for competitive exams for various government services. I am a voracious reader, most of my free time is spent in reading. My interests are varied and I have done substantial reading and research on warfare and strategy, corporate strategies and business practices. These days I have involved myself in International Affairs, Politics (contemporary and historical), Philosophy and various governmental affairs. I am also a big movie buff and every third or fourth day I try to watch a new movie. Here my interests are specific - I like documentaries and the ones I see are essentially directly or indirectly related to whatever reading I am involved in. Along with, I like historical costume dramas (viz Gladiator, Kingdom of Heaven, Troy), movies based on real life stories, biographical movies, movies on organized crime and the ones who have some secret operation and/or intelligence agencies in the middle of the story. I am currently deeply into (and have been for quite a while) Noam Chomsky. I am also reading a lot of Indian political history and the independence movement. As always I somehow always find the time to watch at least one new movie every three or four days. I don't however review all of them. Paucity of time to be blamed!!
