Ninad Karpe belongs to GenXxx when it comes to gizmos, always a few steps ahead of the sharpest geek in his office, and able to spin a circle around his young son over bits and bytes.
 
As managing director of Computer Associates for India and the SAARC countries, he probably has to stay ahead, but he agrees to some good-natured drubbing for our inaugural column.
 
How many gadgets do you carry?
 
Only two "" the Palm Treo and my Blackberry.
 
Your favourite gadget?
 
The Palm Treo. It's a smart phone for smart people.
 
An application that would be a lifesaver for executives?
 
The Internet! How else would one know what is going on in the world.
 
One gadget on your must-buy list...
 
A Sony HDR-HC3 handycam to help me capture splendid images wherever I go.
 
What dream machine would you build?
 
A wireless on to talk to all possible devices. Since we are wired 24x7, we need a wirefree environment to make life simpler.
 
Most embarrassing tech moment?
 
I couldn't get my Blackberry powered up the first time.
 
A website you patronise?
 
That would be www.nasa.gov.
 
Have you ever hacked a machine ?
 
No, and I hope no one hacks me.
 
Do you blog?
 
No, but I read blogs like engadget.com on gadgets and slash.org for tech updates.
