In my spare time, I try to stay outdoors as much as I can. Before I moved to the US, as an Indian teenager I was obsessed with cricket. I have given up trying to explain this sport to my american colleagues here. Yes it has two bases and the batter can hit behind the keeper. Let's just say that in Baseball the odds are heavily in the favor of the pitcher, while in cricket it is quite the opposite. Here in the US, I occassionally follow cricinfo for scores and try to watch a few highlights when a good game comes along.
During my undergrad, I learnt how to play table tennis, and was briefly part of my hostel team at IIT, Madras. I tried to play here brieflt when I joined. Along with a friend, we managed to win a doubles championship organized by the Indian student organization MAITRI at NCSU.
For the past few years, I've been playing Tennis quite regularly. Based on the USTA rating, scheme, I am closer to a 4.0 player right now. Will be posting some photos and videos soon.
Also, an avid gamer on the XBOX 360.
