, director, Eros group, is one of the elite few who can flaunt a Vertu mobile, the ultra-expensive mobile phone worth Rs 5 lakh. No prizes for guessing that this gadget geek believes in buying "all that he likes".
 
What's the coolest gadget you own and like to show off?
 
For sure it would be my mobile phone, Vertu's Ferrari phone. It is a limited edition phone and I use it exclusively in the evenings when out for social meetings.
 
Any gadget that you regret not buying when the time was right?
 
No, there is nothing that I regret not buying, as I buy whatever I like.
 
What's the geekiest thing you have ever done?
 
I love to play golf and the geekiest thing that I have ever done is maintaining golf scores on my personal digital assistant.
 
If you could, whose computer would you hack?
 
The person whose computer I would like to hack would be Mark Zuckberg, founder and creator of Facebook.
 
How do you get the most juice out of your gadgets?
 
I like to do almost everything with my mobile, like surfing the Internet, checking my mails, maintaining my golf scores and what not.
 
A perfect geeky gift for you would be...
 
A car that possesses every feature possible, like a television, music system, Internet access, and any other technology one can imagine.
 
What is the most stylish gadget you own?
 
The most stylish thing that I possess is my BMW 7-series, which has a fully inbuilt iDrive system that has all the features like television and a DVD player too.
 
Name one funky application that you have had fun experimenting with.
 
The funkiest application I have recently encountered is Facebook "" a social page where one can mingle with strangers and friends alike.
