Books
Gone with the Wind: It is the ultimate book of romance in times of war. Every girlfriend I know has had Scarlett O'Hara moments.

Heidi: I got this book as a gift from a cousin when I was in class three. A story of innocence, heartbreaking purity and fresh mountain air, it had a huge impact, as I too am from the mountains.

A New Earth: It is a profound book of inspiration about overcoming ego.

The Story of My Experiments with Truth: The inner struggles of Mahatma Gandhi are so brutally honest that they give one the courage to walk tall even after one's mistakes.

Buddha in Daily Life: It simplifies the principles of Buddhism without taking away their profundity and practicality.

Movies
Shawshank Redemption: Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins make this tale of revenge & redemption unforgettable.

Invictus: A film that always gets my mojo back for me!

As Good As It Gets: A brilliant piece -funny, poignant and sharp!

Omkara: Vishal Bhardwaj at his very best.

Taare Zameen Par: It makes me happy I could do a film that meant so much to so many people.

Music:
The Earth Song by Michael Jackson: It sends the message of the sanctity of all life without becoming preachy.

La Isla Bonita by Madonna: I just love this song and the way Madonna looks in this video.

Vande Matram by Bharat Bala/A R Rehman: It was such a delight to see a video of such quality being made in India.

I Would Do Anything for Love by Meatloaf: Always begs the questions what one wouldn't do for love?

Thriller by Michael Jackson: The mother of all music videos, the first, the best and most amazing.
