Partha Sarathi's hooked to iPod

His twin roles as CFO of an airline and a fiction author demand optimal use of gadgets.


His twin roles as CFO of an airline and a fiction author demand optimal use of gadgets. And that���s exactly what SpiceJet CFO Partha Sarathi Basu is doing. After the recent launch of his first book���Why not...! Racing ahead with mentors���he has started working on his second book.

Till recently, he used a Nokia E 62 phone but has now switched to BlackBerry 8820. Why not iPhone, when that���s the gadget many CXO���s are waiting for? ���BlackBerry is a tried and tested model. I have never really used Apple products,��� he says. Well, not everyone wants to experiment with gadgets for the sheer thrill of testing something cool!

But there is one Apple product that he���s been using and is hooked to���60 GB iPod. He prefers listening to Bengali and retro music on the sleek gizmo. Another tool in his kit is a 8.1 megapixel Canon digital camera. And the notebook is from HP. ���On long flight, I use an external battery, so that I can key in my thoughts, without battery playing a spoilsport.���

Mr Basu, who receives over 100 emails a day, affirms that he���s ���very��� net-savvy. His home is Wi-Fi enabled. And there couldn���t have been a better time to discuss technology with as these days he���s busy working on his personal website, and understands the nitty-gritty of the web.

Though he has Sony home theatre system, he���s looking forward to the one by Bose, as the latter offers the best sound quality. Mr Basu doesn���t have a Xbox or a PlayStation, but that doesn���t mean he is not an avid gamer. Like the pre-gaming console era, he uses the computer to play cricket and car racing games.
