OT Best holiday
R. Madhavan This was when I was holidaying in the spectacular Canadian Rockies. It was just the two of us &mdash me and my wife Sarita &mdash trekking and camping in the wilderness. We were living in the lap of nature, and we got to see some really unique and interesting wildlife. What could be better than this

OT And disasters
R. Madhavan Touch wood, none.

R. Madhavan To be left completely to my own devices, with no one to wake me up. To sleep as long as I like, with no fixed programme to follow. To be free to understand the subtle nuances of a place.
