Thanks to hockey, I don’t stick to one place. But wherever I go, within a few days I get restless and want to return to amchi Mumbai.

Kirkee in Maharashtra, where I was born and brought up. This is where I first learnt to hold a hockey stick. It’s a small and quiet town but a perfect environment for wannabe sportspersons. I was lucky to have spent my early years there.

I landed in this Metropolis as a 17-year-old, and till date, rejoice every moment here. When I am not at my favourite Churchgate ground, I hit the Mumbai-Pune highway. It’s a pleasure to drive there. Pune is a favourite weekend getaway more because my parents stay there.

I have enjoyed all the matches I have played in Holland. The weather may be cold but the people are extremely warm.

That’s Switzerland. The place looks more a like a colourful painting. It’s a dream destination.

An opportunity to connect with people.
