Are you watching FIFA World Cup?

Yes definitely. It is thrilling and exciting. I haven’t watched all the matches but I make sure I don’t miss out on the exciting matches of the series.

Which team are you supporting?

Two of my favourite teams are Brazil and Argentina. I am personally rooting for Brazil. I have had an emotional connection with Brazil which has grown stronger over the years. Their love for the game, their jerseys and their approach, everything has always inspired me.

Till now, what have been the most memorable moments of this year’s football World Cup for you?

I think the recent incident of Uruguay’s Luis Suárez biting Italy’s Giorgio Chiellini.

When you keep busy shooting, where and what do you watch the games on?

A) At work

B) At home

C) In public places

We shoot for long hours and it drains us out completely. I prefer watching matches at home. But I also access and keep myself updated about the progress through mobile apps while I am working.

So how do you catch up on the matches you have missed? When do you get the time to catch matches from your busy schedule?
I usually record the matches I have missed on my and catch up on them when I get free from work. This is usually late at night after my shift. Sometimes during the break, I browse through YouTube or use mobile apps to watch matches too.

You are aware of all the features on your techie set top box? What is your favorite feature?

Yes I am aware of all the features. My personal favorite is of course the record function. Whenever I miss out on any exciting matches, it comes to my aid. Tata Sky provides great picture quality and features at an affordable price. It helps curbs piracy too.

Now tell us about your favorite player/s?

Lionel Messi is my favorite football player. He follows the policy of fair play and has an amazing technique. I hope he wins the title of the No.1 goal scorer at this year’s FIFA World Cup. But former English Footballer David Beckham has always been someone I have idolized over the years for his achievement and passion for the game.

Do you play football when free?

Yes. I have grown up playing football. But due to my hectic schedule I hardly get anytime to play football these days. But I thoroughly enjoy the sport and it is close to my heart.

Football is all about goals. What’s your goal in life?

I believe in setting smaller goals and achieving them over a period of time. So I cannot state that I have one, specific, big goal in life. But yes. I do have some small goals that I hope will serve as stepping stones to help me achieve greater things in life.

Shivin, we wish you all the luck and success!!!
