You might find him surfing the Internet for any kind of knowledge and news, or plonked on his bed with a book in his hands. He loves to keep himself abreast of the latest technology and is a gadget freak. He is always ready for a discussion about any topic under the sun. He has a myriad interest in business, startups, entrepreneurship, finance, and current affairs. However, he is always excited to go on trips and tours, especially nature trails and trekking, with a camera around his neck. Apart from reading, he likes to pen his thoughts and is a freelance blogger, too. He can play the keyboard but wishes he had more time to learn a new instrument. He loves to listen to psychedelic, slow, and alternative rock. You can say "Hi" to him at mail@rohitbhat. com. This is his first book as an author. He is, however, a reviewer of Packt's Android Application Programming with OpenCV, published a couple of months ago.
