Weekend Retreat/Ashutosh Srivastava
As the head of marketing of Bridgestone, one of the largest tyre companies worldwide, one would expect Ashutosh Srivastava to have a permanent weekend getaway all fixed up. ``No such luck,'' he laughs. ``All I do on weekends is play squash. I am an avid squash player, and I like to use every opportunity I get to enjoy the game. Getting away for the weekend is never part of my plans, because then it becomes too hectic,'' he says.Moreover, the week usually ends up being stretched across to Saturdays, which barely leaves any time for a weekend getaway. ``On Saturdays, we're supposed to be working half-day, but before you know it, it's evening. Then it isn't really worth it, going away somewhere for a day and a half. Besides, squash is all I need to relax. It's my favourite sport,'' says Srivastava. And then, there's the advantage that it can be played pretty much anywhere! -- Ruchi Sharma Copyright © 1999 Indian Express Newspapers (Bombay) Ltd.
