How many gadgets do you carry?

My mobile phones are "multipurpose gadgets" but I end up carrying a Nokia and a Sony Ericsson phone, to keep my office and personal usage separate.

Your favourite gadget to date.

I love my remote control bell. The traditional way of summoning people helps me the most at work as well as at home. A digicam and home theatre are also among my favourite gadgets since they let me pursue my interests in photography and movies.

An application that you would say is a lifesaver for executives.

I think no application can top the usability of the Internet. From research, official work and networking to leisure and entertainment, everything is just a click away. SMS is another important mobile application for most executives that can connect businesses without disturbing the pace of work.

The next gadget on your must-buy list.

My penchant for photography seems to be developing everyday, taking me to some of the world's most beautiful places. To capture the decisive moments of nature's tricks, a Canon SLR [Canon EOS 30D] is the next item on my must-buy list.

What kind of dream machine would you like to build?

It would be a mobile phone with additional features of a single lens reflex high-end camera.

The website that you frequent the most and why.

I am constantly logging on to our website www.drbatras.com to keep track of work and, of course, I use god's weapon on the Internet "" Google!

Your biggest tech disaster.

I lost all information from my mobile and could not retrieve it. Unfortunately, I didn't have back-up either!
