Life in the fast lane!
We did a 360 degree on corporate czar ANIL AMBANI and what really makes him tick

• Every morning at 5:30 a.m., six days a week, Anil goes jogging/running for 18 km. Wherever in the world, he never misses this run. His inspiration (just for the run, we hope); President George Bush!
• For two years, Anil has been doing yoga to improve his running. His kids want him to win a marathon.
• If he’s in Mumbai on a Sunday, lunch is a must at Tiffin, The Oberoi’s. He spends the rest of the day with family.
• A stickler for time, he reaches work at 9:30 a.m. sharp and leaves by 9:30 p.m. He rarely changes this routine.
• He is quite the car freak. He drives himself and is fond of his Mercedes and Range Rover.
• Anil is a Shiv bhaktand has done the Kailash Mansarovar parikrama twice. Before any big launch, he makes a trip to Tirupati.
• When hockey star Dhanraj Pillai asked for his autograph, they made a deal and gave each other their respective autographs. He is proud of the fact that Pillai had heard about his interest in longdistance running.
• When in Delhi, he stops at India Gate for two minutes and eats a choco-bar ice-cream from a handcart.
• A vegetarian, his favourite food is baigan ka bhartaand chole. And for 25 years, roadside pav bhaji from Soli's, Haji Ali.
• His only indulgence is a thin crust margarita pizza without cheese. Can’t sleep for more than five hours, doesn’t drink or smoke.
• At 8 a.m., he begins a round of phone calls with key employees.
• His favourite piece of advice; Don’t hire a consultant to tell you the time from your own watch!
• Likes artefacts,particularly based on horses.

Little known MUMBAI facts!

• That Mumbai is located on an island with a deep natural harbour and is the nation's commercial capital.

• The Portuguese named the area Boa Bahia which means Good Bay. The name was later changed to Boma. After gaining possession of the isles, the British anglicised the name to Bombay. The city was renamed to Mumbai in 1995.

• The city originally consisted of seven little islands. It was part of the kingdom of Ashoka and then various Hindu rulers of the Silhara dynasty until 1343, when it was annexed by the kingdom of Gujarat.

• Up to the end of the Second World War, Bombay covered only about 67 km² of land from Colaba in the south to Mahim and Sion in the north. The city witnessed large scale Hindu-Muslim riots just before India's independence in 1947.

• In 1960, the city became the capital of the new state of Maharashtra. A series of land reclamations from the sea in the 1970s and the mushrooming of skyscrapers reinforced the city's status as the premier city of the country. In 1992 large scale Hindu-Muslim riots affected the entire city.

• The city originally extended from the southern tip of the peninsula to the Mahim and Sion Creeks in the north. This region was called Old Bombay (the downtown area), and the area north of this was called Greater Bombay. Old Bombay being a city didn't have a district capital, whereas a capital was created in the largely semi-urban uptown Greater Bombay.

• As the country's commercial capital, Mumbai houses the headquarters of almost all major companies. The Reserve Bank of India and the Bombay Stock Exchange, forms the heart of commercial India and is situated in South Bombay. The city contributes 40 per cent of India's income tax, and Rs. 40,000 crores (9 billion US $) as annual corporate tax; the highest in the country. Mumbai is also the epicentre of India's film industry — Bollywood, which is the largest in the world in terms of the number of films produced annually.

• A coral reef was found near the city in 1997.

• The city has 3 lakes — Tulsi Lake, Powai Lake, Vihar Lake, has 3 rivers — Mithi (Mahim), Dahisar, Oshiwara and 4 forts — Sewree, Bandra, Mahim & Worli plus remnants of the old fort in South Mumbai.

• Tallest building in India, the Shreepati Arcade (45 floors) is in Mumbai and Nariman Point had the highest real estate rental rates in the world.

• Indian cinema, the city has a large number of cinemas. The oldest film shot in the country was taken in 1896 in the Kala Ghoda area.
