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. HP Singh, CMD, Satin Creditcare Network Limited (SCNL) talks to BrandWagon Online about his weekends, favourite vacation destination and more.
- What is the one thing you like to do when not working?
In my spare time, I enjoy learning new things. I deepen my understanding of the world by reading new books, travelling to different cultures, savouring culinary delights, and indulging in shopping. Each activity, like a long drive, provides an opportunity for exploration and self-discovery, reinforcing the idea that the richness of life is found not only in the destination but also in the journey.
- How do you spend your weekends?
Weekends are precious moments that I spend cherishing family time with my daughters and grandchildren. I often unwind by immersing myself in thought-provoking documentaries on Netflix. Additionally, I carve out some “me time” for strategic thinking when I ponder over future endeavours and personal growth.
- What are your favourite gadgets?
Despite being relatively low-key on the gadget front, I do appreciate the convenience offered by my mobile phone and iPad. They serve as invaluable tools for staying connected through emails and indulging in occasional Netflix binges. Although I’m not very tech-savvy by any means, I’m committed to continuously upskilling my digital proficiency, recognizing the ever-growing importance of technology in our daily lives.
- Given an option to choose another career, what would it be?
If I were to pursue an alternative profession, I would have loved to be a creative writer. I am greatly intrigued by the idea of interweaving narratives and exploring the depths of imagination; it ignites within me a passion for storytelling that surpasses conventional limitations.
- Which is your favourite vacation spot?
London holds a special place in my heart as my favoured vacation destination. Its vibrant blend of history, culture, and modernity never fails to allure me, offering an enriching experience with every visit.
- A TV show, a movie, and an ad campaign you highly recommend watching
For a dose of laughter, I recommend indulging in the comedic brilliance of “Hera Pheri” and the timeless romance of “Lamhe.” When it comes to television, I like browsing through news for its informative value and watching Punjabi movies for their cultural resonance. I find Tata Tea’s ‘Jaago Re’ ad campaign quite enjoyable as it not only speaks about physical awakening but also social awakening, by addressing key pressing issues we are facing today globally, be it climate change, pollution or plastic waste.
