I love networking/social events which are mostly evenings but I also enjoy riding and going to the gym (mostly mornings). Last splurge on your credit card? I love collecting masks whenever I travel, so my last splurge was a set of beautifully hand-carved and hand-painted Vietnamese masks. What song title best describes you? Free Bird – Lynard Skynard. What’s the most embarrassing moment you can remember? Not had too many of them but I guess I could say the time, when I started riding [motorbikes] and we participated in a rally with other bikers from around the region. I decided to wear full-on eye make-up. Trust me...not a great idea when you are riding and have the wind in your face. I ended up looking like a raccoon or as if I had stood next to a bike backfire! What’s your favourite cuisine or dish? I love Thai, simply because of the beautiful flavours that come with the cuisine. But I also love a Raclette meal, as it makes for a nice relaxed evening. Where would be your perfect holiday destination? Adventure holidays...not a beach bum Where do you see yourself in five years? Exploring the world on a bike...I hope. What superpower would you like to have? To read people's minds, as it would ease communication. In Her Shoes Priya Shankar, cluster marketing manager for InterContinental Regency and Crowne Plaza Bahrain, gives us a peek into her world. What’s the worst gift you’ve ever received? I believe it’s the thought that counts. The fact that someone has taken the effort to go out, get you something and get it gift wrapped is special. Priya
