Weekends are all about downtime. After a week full of work to meet deadlines, everybody needs some breather to relax and recuperate. From watching a favourite web series to planning a vacation, weekends are designated as family and me time. Sukhesh Madaan, CEO, Blaupunkt Audio India talks to BrandWagon Online about his weekends, favourite vacation destination and more.
What is the one thing you like to do when not working?
Reading is one of my favourite pleasures while I’m not working. Indulging myself in the fictional worlds created by authors gives me a lot of delight. I’m now reading two engrossing books: “Sapiens” by Yuval Harari, which examines the history of mankind, and “1984” by George Orwell, a thought-provoking futuristic classic. Reading helps me to broaden my knowledge and escape into many realms of fantasy.
How do you spend your weekends?
On Saturdays, I usually devote my time to completing any work-related duties that have piled over the week. This is a day for catching up and making sure I’m on track. On Sundays, I intentionally detach from work and focus on revitalising myself by spending quality time with my family, engaging in leisure activities and recharging for the next week.
What are your favourite gadgets?
Beside the phone, my favourite gadget is my trusty notebook, often referred to as my laptop. Its portability and adaptability make it an excellent productivity and entertainment tool. Whether I’m working on vital duties or relaxing, my laptop is a necessary and reliable acquaintance.
Given an option to choose another career, what would it be?
If I had the opportunity to pursue an alternative career, I would be inclined to become either a lawyer or a statistician. As a lawyer, I’d advocate for justice, while as a statistician, I’d analyse data to extract meaningful insights. Both paths offer exciting challenges and opportunities for making a positive impact.
Which is your favourite vacation spot?
My preferred vacation destination is the Maldives. The breathtaking, endless expanse of the sea is unparalleled. The mesmerising view of the vast ocean is truly incomparable and makes it my top choice for a vacation spot.
A TV show, movie, and an ad campaign that you highly recommend watching.
I strongly advise everyone to watch the television show “Suits.” It’s a recent sitcom that I really liked. The program features interesting characters and a gripping plot. It’s an excellent pick for fans of legal dramas with a mix of humour and drama.
