This MD can’t wait to dig into South Indian cuisine & visit a hill station once restrictions ease

Ashok Mittal, MD, Teamonk Global talks about his travel plans, favourite South Indian restaurants and meditation.

Holiday hopeful: "While I did contemplate going on a holiday after all of this had settled, I have not decided upon a particular location. Hill stations like Coonoor, Ooty, Darjeeling would surely be at the top of my list of places to visit. In my opinion, there is nothing more calming than a winter evening spent gazing at the sun setting between the hills. I am certain that my family would revel in the serenity just as much as I would."

Relax to the max: "The prospect of a massage certainly has its appeal for me. It is a great way to unwind, and relax, both mentally and physically, in the truest sense of the word."


Food for thought: "There is a South Indian restaurant in my neighbourhood that is famous for its scrumptious dosas and other delicacies. It is our favourite restaurant in Bengaluru. I haven’t been able to eat there for some time now, but whenever I can, I’d love to go back with my family."

Log in for retail therapy: "Since the lockdown, I have switched to making all of my purchases, from groceries to electronic devices, online. The online market, with its wide array of options in every conceivable shopping category, has allowed me to buy anything I need with relative ease."

Tech update: "I recently purchased wireless headphones, and not only have they made working from home easier, they are also much more comfortable and convenient to use than regular headphones or earphones."

Downtime: "I am looking to explore some that guide you through the process of meditation and deep relaxation. Now more than ever, we all need to focus on our overall well-being, and I believe that many podcasts available online can help us do just that."
