Passions: Life Outside the Office
“Sailors turn into criminal minds on the waters. They scream and shout, and plot how to put the opponent at a disadvantage.”
Ashish Hemrajani first got interested in yatching eight years ago, while on a trip to the City of Sails, Auckland, in New Zealand. He spotted a boat named Ganga in the Bay of Islands, captained by a Canadian. On an impulse, Hemrajani, who runs the popular ticketing website, BookMyShow, offered to be a hand on the deck for the day and set sail over the cool blue waters of the Pacific. His love affair with boats continued even after he came back to Mumbai. Between October and April, when the wind is right for the sails, the 34-year-old is busy tacking and gybing his boat around the bays. He participates in about 20 races every season. “I am the tactician on the boat, doing the deck work and innovating on our strategy for the course,” says he. A pretty good way of putting his workday skills to good use too!
