About me
I live in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. I love board games and play them everyday almost. My family consisting of wife Aarthi, daughter Shreyasi and son Sushanth are all avid board gamers.
My Boardgamegeek profile page - A detailed page of my boardgaming profile with list of games I own, played, hotlists, and other postings and comments. A bird's eye view of me and boardgames.

Hi Sanjay,
I’m a board game freak myself and was very please to see you write a review on Thurn and Taxis…which by the way I got it when I was in US last month….but I was more interested to find out if there is a way I can get the European board games in India…or get it shipped from some online vendor. In case you have any suggestionsplease do let me know as I’m planning to get Kahuna, Ceasar and Cleopatra and Alhambra for my collection.
Thanks for your help,
Madhu

Hello Sir,
I have sent a mail through the BGG mail id, but also wanted to mention that in case you plan to visit Bangalore. Please do visit Brew Ha Ha, run by my friends (Sreeram and Mansur), both IIMA pass out having a passion for board games. You can check them out on http://www.brewhaha.in. They have some lunatic looking picts of mine on the corporate section. That was when I was with Fidelity and had gone there on an outing.
Best Regards,
Madhu

Hello Sanjay!
Visited your blogsite and wish to share this with you:
An Jewish Board Game [with matchsticks or toothpicks or cotton buds]
Basic requirement: 12 numbers- [e.g. 3 match sticks,4 tooth picks and 5 cotton buds]
As in the Chess Game two persons play this game against each other.
Layout:Keep these sticks,picks and buds on the table.
How to play?
After tossing the winner starts the game.
He or she can take one or more sticks/buds/picks, but only from one group. This is one move.Then he or she allows the other to play. He or she does the same thing by choosing one or more from the three groups.
It goes on like this till such time one makes such a move leaving one stick on the table.This leaves the other no choice.He or she will be the loser.
In case you need any clarification you can call me.4205 9498

Hello,
I just moved to Switzerland and I would like to purchase some new boardgames. The problem is, that here I only get official french versions, so I would apreciate if you can name a couple of games that are language independent (I don´t speak french or german).
My favorite is CATAN, and I was looking in to buying ELASUND. I saw your post regarding this game, so I would like to know if there are any playing cards or anything else in french, that might be a problem?
I was also thinking of SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, Catan CARD game.
Thanks for your help.
