Hobies and interests

Music

My favorite genre of music is Rock (especially classic rock) like Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Doors, Rolling Stones, Beatles, Dire Straits, Scorpions etc. I am also somewhat interested in some electro/alternative style bands like Daft Punk and Synthwave music (while gaming).

Movies

English: Very hard to specify a genre I enjoy the most, but my favorite movies are: Fight Club, The Matrix (only part one exists),Trainspotting, Kill Bill (and other Tarantino works), The Dark Knight, Godfather, Star Wars and all the Marvel movies.

Malayalam (My native tounge) : Manichitrathazhu, Nadodikattu series, Oru CBI diary korup series, Mazha peyyunnu madhallam kottnnu etc. (old and really funny movies) along with some newer ones like Bangalore Days.

French: Amelie, Untouchables and Leon.

Books

My favorite genre to read is fantasy (and some sci-fi). My favorite authors of all time would be David Eddings (The Belgariad), Robert Jordan (Wheel of time), Robert Asprin (Myth Adventures) and L. E. Modesitt, Jr (Corean Chronicles). I also did enjoy reading Harry Potter and Artemis Fowl series when I was younger as well as detective stories by Agatha Christie (Poirot centric) and Sherlock Holmes.

Comics

I love reading Japanese and Korean comics (Manga and Manhwa) and Chinese novels (fantasy/martial arts). My favorite ongoing ones are:

One Piece, Breaker, Tower of God, The Gamer and Feng Sheng Ji. 

I also enjoyed having read Naruto, Bleach, Fullmetal Alchemist, Rurorini Kenshin, Yu Yu Hakusho, Lord of Mysteries, Coiling Dragon, World of Cultivation etc.

TV Series

I watch several sitcoms and my all time favorites would be: Friends, The Office (US), That Mitchell and Webb Look, IT Crowd, Peep Show, Black Books, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Big Bang Theory and Two & half men.

I also enjoy animated series like South park (the greatest), Family Guy etc. Additionally, I also enjoy some Anime (Japanese animations) like Death Note and of course Dragon Ball Z.

Gaming

Of course, one of the biggest reason for my passion in Game Theory, is my love for playing Games. I enjoy most kinds of Games including Board games, word games etc. but the ones I play the most are naturally computer games.

My current favorite game is League of Legends mainly due to it's strategic and team based gameplay. Someday, I would love to write a research paper on how randomly formed teams have members collaborating or working against each other, in this game. I also play single player games and games like Diablo and Path of Exile occasionally.
