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. Vishal Parekh, chief operating officer, CyberPowerPC 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?
When I’m not working, I prefer shutting down my gadgets and try getting as much time amidst nature as possible. I often take strolls in the park, breathe in the fresh air, and relax a little. I also like to meditate sometimes, it helps me centre myself amidst the hustle of daily work life. Additionally, I enjoy having relaxed conversations with friends and family in my free time.
How do you spend your weekends?
Weekends are all about fun and relaxation. I love gaming, especially PC games which allow me to unwind and engage in immersive virtual universes. I love photography as well. Capturing moments through camera lenses gives me a creative outlet. On top of that, I often go on night outs with friends, exploring new places, dining out, or just hanging out. All of these combined are an amazing concoction to refresh myself for the next week!
What are your favourite gadgets?
My favourite gadget has to be the iPhone 15 Pro Max. It’s an incredibly versatile device that caters to almost all my needs. Whether it’s for work, photography, or binge-watching my favourite shows, it has me covered.
Given an option to choose another career, what would it be?
If I had the chance to choose another career, I would pursue what I consider is my biggest passion, photography. There’s something magical about capturing moments and telling stories through images. Photography allows for creative expression and offers a unique way to see and share the world. The idea of traveling to different places, meeting new people, and capturing the essence of various cultures, landscapes, and moments through my lens is incredibly appealing to me.
Which is your favourite vacation spot?
I don’t have a single favourite vacation spot; instead, I am drawn to any place with a beach or a mountain. People often are beach people or mountain ones, I am essentially drawn to both. Be it pristine beaches with the waves crashing in against the shore or the thrill and embrace of mighty mountains, I love them both equally!
A TV show, a movie, and an ad campaign you highly recommend watching**
The TV show, I highly recommend is Arcane. It’s an animated series on Netflix based on the storyline of the popular game “League of Legends”, and it offers a rich, engaging story with stunning animation and complex characters. I can’t wait for season 2! For a movie, The Martian, I feel, is a must-watch. It’s an inspiring tale of survival and ingenuity, showcasing human resilience in the face of overwhelming odds. As for an ad campaign, I feel Fevicol historically has had some path-breaking ads highlighting their key messaging of “Fevicol ka jod”. I feel that through all these years, the Fevicol ads have been true to their messaging and have used top-notch creativity.
