1. Fitness becomes a professional choice when you are travelling trans-Atlantic about 20 days a month. It becomes part of daily life, like taking the stairs instead of the elevator; even the small things matter.

2 I try not to eat after 7 pm. While travelling if I am in a different time zone, I try to maintain that timing by having something to drink.

3 At work, the effort is to eat right. Less sugar, more green tea. And, there are many options available that help watch the calories. The other trick is to have multiple fruits a day — at least five colours, as each gives you a different property, vitamin, etc. The fruit should be seasonal. Even with food, the focus is to have fresh foods with local ingredients.

4 I do go to a gym about four times a week and mix it up with running, cycling, etc., to keep it from being boring. In fact, I love cycling.

5 De-stressing is through breaks to the mountains every couple of weeks. On “work-life” balance… I don’t separate the two, because if you are passionate about it, you would enjoy it anyway. For instance, I write even on a break.
