So without further ado, here it goes…
Your mantra for life
Innovate daily, learn constantly, and create purposefully
A book you are currently reading or plan to read
Currently, I’m not reading any specific book, but I’m always open to recommendations. What’s your current favorite?
Your fitness mantra
Play your favorite sport! Engaging in activities you love not only makes fitness enjoyable but also ensures consistency. For me, it’s cricket; the joy of the game keeps me active.
Your comfort food
Khichadi is my ultimate comfort food. Its simplicity and nourishing qualities make it a go-to meal for both comfort and sustenance.
A quote or philosophy that keeps you going when the chips are down
“Everything happens for a reason.” This belief is my anchor during challenging moments, reminding me that even setbacks hold valuable lessons and opportunities for growth.
Your guilty pleasure
A packet of Parle G gold with a steaming cup of tea is my guiltiest pleasure. The simplicity of this combo is my little escape from the complexities of the day.
The last time you tried something new
I recently got a new home theatre system, and it completely blew my mind. The immersive experience has taken my movie and music enjoyment to a whole new level.
A life lesson you learned the hard way
One hard-earned life lesson is that you can’t force people or friends to stay in your life. Relationships, like any living entity, evolve. It’s crucial to appreciate the time you have with someone but also to gracefully accept if paths diverge.
What gets you excited about life
Money? Haha. What truly excites me about life is the constant pursuit of knowledge, the joy of creating something meaningful, and the prospect of forming genuine connections with people
What’s on top of your bucket list
Winning the next cricket tournament in my complex is at the very top of my bucket list, and I’m gearing up to make it happen!
If you could give one piece of advice to your younger self, what would it be?
Just do it; you are doing it right.
One thing you would most like to change about the world
One change I’d love to see in the world is a shift towards more solar energy. A greener, sustainable future is something we can all work towards, and the power of the sun holds incredible potential for positive change.
An activity that keeps you motivated and charged during tough times
Getting through tough times is easier when I tackle challenging tasks head-on. Turning obstacles into achievements keeps me motivated and strengthens my resolve.
What lifts your spirits when life gets you down
When life gets me down, nothing lifts my spirits like a fantastic music session with my wife. Great songs have a way of turning the mood around and creating moments of joy.
Your go-to stress buster
It might sound cliché, but for me, the ultimate stress buster is tackling and completing pending work. There’s a unique satisfaction in overcoming tasks that instantly alleviates stress and brings a sense of accomplishment.

Arike unveils futuristic dating campaign set in 2050
Malayali app imagines AI-led love with Hansika and real-life father in emotional film.
MUMBAI: Love in 2050 might come with holograms and hyper-personalised algorithms but Arike’s betting the heart still needs a good old-fashioned “yes, forever”. The Kerala-rooted dating app from Aisle Network has launched a fresh digital video campaign that fast-forwards to the year 2050, painting a world where tech handles compatibility scores, virtual first dates, and even memory-recreated companionship. Yet the core message cuts through the sci-fi gloss: no matter how advanced the tools get, real commitment remains a deeply human choice.
Set in a sleek, futuristic Indian home, the film opens with a light-hearted father-daughter chat about how relationships spark in their high-tech era. As the daughter marvels at algorithm-driven matches, the father gently steers the story back to his own beginning meeting his partner years earlier on Arike and deciding to build a life together. The narrative then weaves in personal loss, cherished memories, and AI’s role in preserving them, landing on a timeless truth, love endures because someone chooses to stay.
Adding emotional weight, actress Hansika makes her campaign debut alongside her real-life father Krishnakumar, who plays her on-screen dad bringing an authentic father-daughter dynamic that grounds the futuristic tale in genuine warmth.
Aisle Network head Chandni said, “This film is our way of imagining how dating might evolve in the next 25 years, while reminding ourselves of what doesn’t change. Technology can help us find compatibility faster, reduce friction, and even recreate familiarity. But love still requires choice and commitment. That has always been at the heart of Arike.”
Through the spot, Arike positions itself as more than a swipe-right platform, it’s a companion for every life stage, from first sparks to lifelong bonds and even second chances. In an age where algorithms promise perfect matches, the campaign quietly asks, when the tech fades, who’s still there when the lights come up? For Arike, the answer hasn’t changed in 25 years and probably won’t in the next 25 either.
