1) What gadgets do you use?

I use HTC Desire HD, iPad, Sony Vaio to mention a few.

2) Which is the latest gadget you picked up?

The latest one which I have picked up is an iPhone 5 for my wife as a gift since she is a huge fan of Apple and wanted to have one since its launch.

3) Which brand do you like and why?

I am totally impressed with Samsung, and their way of sustaining in the market is something hats off. They have almost the entire electronics product portfolio in their capture. I have been a great fan of their LCD/LED TVs for quite some years now, but off late what they have done with smart phones is amazing. The fact that Galaxy S4 created bigger buzz than iPhone 5 indicates the strength of their brand.

4) What is your dream machine?

My dream machine is Tesla Model S. It is a fully electric car with zero emission. The fundamental shift that Tesla brings is that you don't have to stick out like a sore thumb if you want to be environment friendly. Tesla's cars are great looking and as far as driving thrill is concerned, they have better pickups than most of the Ferraris and Lamboghinis of the world.

5) What do you not like about technology?

I don’t like the fact that it changes too fast, most of the times when you are playing to catch up with the latest one, you realise that there is another technology that has come up which is better and more advanced than the previous one. Though the pace is too fast, but undoubtedly it makes the technology exciting too.

6) Which apps are you addicted to?

I use and at the same time addicted to Savaari's Driver App which helps in tracking the car and driver along with providing us with right navigation.

7) One anecdote relating to tech (or the lack of it)

I recently saw an advertisement for toilet paper. The ad shows a husband suggesting his wife to use tablets instead of reading paper books. The wife gets back to him with a tablet for herself while the husband is in the toilet using his tablet and they realize they have run out of toilet paper (indicating the husband is glued on to his i pad for a long time).

8) What’s the biggest tech disaster according to you?

I still have to see one. Till then the lack of use of technology will qualify for that.

9) One instance where technology solved your problem.

I like to sit in one place and do everything. Being able to do most things online is the biggest use of technology that I find.
