A communicator fan, Bhatia, is currently using Nokia communicator 9300i. “I am a first generation communicator fan. Though I buy new handsets for testing them,” says Mr Bhatia. He is also net savvy. “I am always connected,” he says. He uses Sony VAIO TX series laptop. He receives around 200-300 e-mails a day and makes sure he has replied to all of them by end of the day. “E-mails have changed the way we work,” he says as a matter of fact. He also uses a GPS receiver to know about his location and distances accurately.
Gaming freak and a photographer, Mr Bhatia uses gadgets not just at work but also to pursue his hobbies. He has Sony PSP (portable play station). “I have adequate software and hardware as well to play games. He owns a Canon Digital SLR camera to capture images.

Talking about his passion for gadgets he says, “I wanted Sony’s location free device. Since it was not available in India, I had to get it couriered. By the time it reached me I ended up paying three times the price,” Money matters but it seems not when it comes to ones passion.
