J – Jovial nature, always joking- he can talk to anybody/or at any event in a joking manner which brings a smile to people’s faces.
A - Adventure - Dad loves to get on a plane and experience other cultures and countries, and his wanderlust has only increased post- Covid. At the end of last year, he enjoyed a 2 week trip in South Africa, and earlier this year he spent 6 weeks in India, predominantly in Ahmedabad and Mumbai, followed by experiencing the vibrancy of South India with mum.

I – Indian Roots – For those of you that may not know, Jaykishan’s dad is from Khamba, in Gujarat. In my dad’s most recent trip to India he was able to reconnect with family there after nearly 20 years; followed by some time exploring South India with Nileshwari.
S – His passion for singing, he loves to listen and sing along to Jagjit Singh, Anup Jalota, Pankaj Udhas. He loves to watch Indian Idol, and I think if he had the chance, he would join them as a contestant.
