Personal:
Personally, I love spending time with my family and given a break from work, I pack my bags and get on an adventurous trip to a new country with my family by my side. My 12 year old is less a son and more a friend to me, and most of the time I am around him. Typically, my favourite evening would be watching a cricket match (even the most boring one) with my friends and a free flow of drinks & food!
