Sanchayeeta Verma, Senior VP at Wavemaker, is a practitioner of Soka Gakkai Buddhism who looks forward to a vacation with loads of leisure time or curling up in the bed with a novel.
Read on to find out how Verma spends her me-time and the hobby she wants to go back to this year:
On a typical weekend you will find me...
With family, completing pending chores at home, spending quality time on my Soka Gakkai Buddhism practice, binge watching TV shows or finishing a book I am hooked onto at the moment. Catching up on the week’s quota of sleep and lazing around.
My idea of relaxing is...
Curling up in the bed with a great novel - the thicker the better. If I can get my dog beside me... even better.
One vice I cannot do without...
E-tail therapy - I indulge in it quite a bit.
I love a staycation/adventure...
I love and indulge in staycations - all the fun of a vacation without the stress of travel. But an outstation vacation with loads of leisure time to a wonderful place does win a few extra points.
I confess, I am a...
Incorrigible optimist, even though you will catch me letting out my existential angst from time to time.
I spend me-time on...
Reading books, binge watching Netflix & Amazon Prime, and the occasional spa visit.
The last show I binge watched...
Star Trek - Discovery
I can make a mean... to save my life...
Apple crumble pie and spatchcock chicken - two new dishes I recently learnt for my daughter, courtesy YouTube and my food connoisseur husband. I am a lousy cook otherwise.
A skill or hobby I want to learn this year...
I used to paint when I was a teenager. Never got to take it up again. The paints (watercolours), papers and brushes have been acquired...will be putting brush to paper hopefully soon.
My next vacation/adventure will be...
Many places left from my bucket list. We are considering an off-the-beaten track tour of Europe this summer... itinerary is still being drawn up.
