Who is
he? What is he doing? Anirban Roy is the International Man
Of Leisure. What does that mean? He is a man who enjoys the
finer things in life, and he lives life to the fullest each and every
day. Whether traveling internationally, enjoying a gourmet
tasting menu at a top restaurant, or staying at a five star property,
An
irban Roy knows how to live!
Getting back to the 2nd question
posed. Anirban Roy is enjoying a glass of wine in the business
class cabin of American Airlines en route to Barbados for vacation
while watching the movie Aquaman.
How about we explore what makes Anirban's life so fascinating and
exciting!
Anirban
enjoys a nice Cuban cigar every now and then along with a glass of his
favorite whiskey or bourbon. Bond drinks vodka martinis
shaken not stirred? What does
Roy drink? Basil Hayden's Bourbon with a
splash of soda water and ginger ale and a large ice cube is one of his
favorite drinks. However, he also enjoys Johnnie Walker Blue
Label, Eagle Rare, Bulleit, Mitcher's Small Batch, and of course
Maker's Mark. Anirban loves fine dining as well. In this
picture, Anirban is enjoying a Cuban cigar
and a drink at the Hyatt Ziva All Inclusive Resort in Montego Bay,
Jamaica. Anirban enjoys vacationing in the Caribbean very
much. He has been to Aruba, Jamaica, (isn't that how a Beach
Boys' song starts :) ), Bahamas, Turks & Caicos, Dominican
Republic, Cozumel, Cancun, Belize, and Barbados in that part of the
world.
He
has
been to that many places? That is only the beginning.
Anirban has been to 27 countries at last count plus a few territories
such as Hong Kong and Macau. How does he travel so much?
Anirban worked for an European company as an Executive Therapeutic
Business Specialist for almost eleven years. He got over six weeks of
vacation each year! Yes, that is right! He got a LOT of
vacation so he can travel as much as he desires to.
Here is
another
picture of Anirban doing one of his favorite things in life, flying to
another fun destination. He is enjoying his prosecco in Delta's
First Class Cabin as his predeparture drink of choice on Delta.
Anirban prefers to fly the premium cabin on his trips!
Anirban
likes to travel in comfort. Whenever available, he utilizes the
executive lounge at the airports. He has a Priority Pass Select me
mbership through his
luxury credit card so he has unlimited access for himself and two
additional guests at so many lounges around the world.
Anirban and his wife, Joy, are
enjoying a glass of wine and great service at the Club DFW en route to
Lima, Peru here. He utilizes the airline premium lounges as well
including the United Club, Delta Sky Club, or the Admiral's Club
through American Airlines as well. However, Anirban wanted to
give a shout out to his lounge attendant at the Club DFW for the
exceptional service she provided both Anirban and Joy. She even
prepared the shower suite for both of them so they could take a nice
shower before a long flight. Anirban also enjoys the United Club
in Narita for their sushi selection when is traveling to Asia via the
main Japanese airport. I know you want to see more pictures from
the lounges, but there is so much more of Anirban's adventures to
see. Fine. We can share a few more lounge pictures before
we continue to other interests.

Anirban thought the guy next to
him was stealing his cookies, but it turns out his fiancee was eating
them when he was getting drinks from the bar. :)
DELTA

What's
going on down here? When Anirban travels, he prefers five star
properties. His brother, Angsuman, and he went to Europe in
2012. They stayed at the Trianon Palace in Versailles, France,
which is a Waldorf Astoria Collection Property. Waldorft Astoria
is Hilton's highest brand. This converted royal palace is right
next door to the famous Palace in Versailles. Anirban has been a
Diamond member of Hilton's HHonors Program since 2011 as a result of
all of his stays at Hilton properties for business and leisure.
His brother and him are waiting at the luxury hotel for their Mercedes
Benz car service to take them to a tour of the Versailles Palace.
Anirban prefers to take luxury car services on international trips
rather than public transportation. LOL.
What about
here? Is this also Europe? That is a BMW after all.
No, this is Anirban in Peru. His chauffeur is loading up his
luggage as he departs the hotel in Miraflores for Surco, an upscale
suburb of Lima. Anirban looks a little annoyed? Well, Lima
has terrible traffic! They are stuck in traffic for a long time
as he heads from one luxury hotel to a five star property where stayed
near the US Embassy.
Speaking of Surco in Peru, Anirban dined at one of
the top restaurants there called Osaka El Polo. He enjoys fine
dining also. That omakase appetizer plate just looks so delicious
with the smoke coming out of the plate. The fish and seafood was
very fresh!
Anirban loves parties! He loves to
host them as well as attend them. In the pictures above, Anirban
and his wife are attending a Beverly Hills wedding at the Four
Seasons. The other picture is a Christmas party hosted at
Anirban's house. A party server is offering champagne to
Anirban's guests in the picture. Anirban likes to hire catering
staff whenever possible to work at his parties so he can enjoy the
party and his
guests.
Can
Anirban fly a plane also? No, he is not a pilot, but he has flown
a Cessna C-172 for a very short time while sitting in the co pilot's
seat with his friend who is a pilot. Anirban loves
adventure! Don't believe us? How about we look at the
pictures below! Anirban is ziplining across that high and long
zip line in Puerto Vallarta as well as climbing a slippery water fall
in Jamaica at Dunn's River Falls. Wow! Anirban has lots of
courage!

Anirban loves the warm and clear waters of
the Caribbean and Tropical Atlantic! Let us look at some pictures
of Anirban enjoying his many trips down to that area below!
He is enjoying a rum
and Coke off the coast
of Punta Cana in the DR here.
He is about to go snorkeling
here in the lovely waters off Belize.
Anirban is going
to try sailing off the coast of Montego Bay in Jamaica! Speaking
of Jamaica.....
"Where
should I serve your breakfast Mr. Roy?," says the room
service attendant at the Hyatt Ziva Resort in Montego Bay! On the
balcony, please!
Half away
around the world, another room service attendant is bringing Mr. Roy
and his girlfriend their breakfast at the five star Conrad Hotel in
Macau! Mr. Roy was upgraded to a four room suite since he is a
HHonors Diamond guest! Yes, four actual rooms in his suite!
The breakfast was delicious! Call him Roy, Anirban Roy, License
to Defeat Liberals and Socialism! We will get to his conservative
roots later.
Let's get
back to some adventure! Anirban did some parasailing in Cancun,
Mexico. Here are pictures of Anirban going up and parasailing
high above the Caribbean Sea! It was a fun experience! Man
this guy sure travels! We were in Jamaica, and then Macau, and
now Mexico!
Boy does Anirban have it rough on this
redeye flight in American's First Class cabin on an Airbus A321.
They only served a small fruit and cheese plate and warmed nuts instead
of a full meal, and the flight attendant did no offer a predeparture
beverage. Boo! He did get his usual drink on American
Airlines, Woodford Reserve in the air. He was going cross country
to
Charlotte, NC.

Anirban
loves the winter wonderland resorts also! He enjoyed the
snowshoeing experience in Lake Louise, Canada. Him and his wife
are cross country skiing at the
beautiful Sun Valley Resort in Idaho in the second picture above.
They go to Sun Valley every President's Day Weekend to enjoy the peace
and quiet of the luxury ski resort!
Anirban is a huge sports fan
also! He will travel far for his teams also since his teams are
all based in the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex! That's right!
He is a Dallas Cowboys, Texas Rangers, Dallas Mavericks, and Dallas
Stars fan! In 2019, Anirban booked a flight on short notice to
fly down to Los Angeles to see his Cowboys play the Rams in the NFC
Divisional Playoff Game at LA Memorial Coliseum. Since he is a
high roller (well has elite status with his rental car company of
choice), they had a nice Camaro ready for him at the airport in Long
Beach. He proudly displayed his Cowboys flag as he was driving
through the streets of the greater Los Angeles area that weekend!
He got photobombed by a Rams fan too.
Let us get
back to some fine dining. Anirban is a big FOODIE! He has
dined at some of the top restaurants in the world. Zagat Rated,
Michelin Starred, or a James Beard winner, he has enjoyed fine cuisine
at many restaurants who have one or more of these prestigious awards in
the culinary arena. Let us share a fine dining experience
now. Anirban ate at Jose Andres' Bazaar Meats in Las Vegas in
2018. This top five steakhouse in the country features an amazing
tasting menu. The restaurant created a private tasting menu with
six courses and two side accompaniments for Anirban's group that
evening.
The filet
mignon chateau briande was the best meat he ever had. It
was served with papas canarias (or Canary Island style potatoes) and
asparagus! Bazaar Meat in Las Vegas is the best!
The assorted dessert platter was
amazing too at Bazaar Meat! The wrappers on the chocolates are edible!
Anirban
is ready to ring in
the new decade in Napa at the Black & White Affair Gala in 2019!

An invitation was left for
Anirban at his seat for a VIP event at the game.
| Anirban tried a free throw after the Mavericks-Kings
game. | He met Mark Cuban too after the game!
Anirban is a VIP most places he goes. Whether
he is skipping a long line at a club to get to his private booth or
taking part in amazing experiences like throwing a free throw at a NBA
game, he gets to really do some cool things! In the pictures
above, Anirban was treated as a VIP at a Dallas Mavericks and
Sacramento Kings game. He was invited to a special VIP event at
halftime, tried a free throw on the court after the game, and even met
Mark Cuban and got his autograph! Want more pictures of Anirban's
sporting experiences? Go to the sports section here!

Mark Cuban signed Anirban's hat!
Anirban enjoys
spending time at his racquet club also. Besides getting his daily
work out there, they have lots of fun social events including a tennis
event called drop in and drinks each month. The club provides
beer and wine along with appetizers as members play each other in
doubles matches. They also have parties and other sporting events
at this premier club in Sacramento.
Anirban loves baseball! He
attends Texas Rangers Spring Training every March in Surprise,
Arizona. Rangers Utility Infielder Adam Rosales is signing a
baseball for him at the batting cages in Surprise, AZ. Sports is
a big part of Anirban's life!
Texas Rangers Starting Catcher Robinson Chirinos is signing a baseball
for Anirban here on the field at a visiting ballpark in the Phoenix
Area! 
What is Anirban holding
here? Why it is a nice fat check from Morgan Stanley Smith Barney
who handled the exercising of Anirban's stock options at his first pharmaceutical
company! Stock options are nice to have for young
professionals! Enough for work time! It is time to get back
to having fun!
What is the
high roller doing below! Anirban is just seated in his
Polaris private cabin on a Boeing 767 operated by United Airlines.
He can be up right and enjoy his juice or sleep in the lie flat
seat at the touch of a button. Then, Anirban can also watch a
movie on that large screen! All the Polaris seats are arranged in
a 1-1-1 configuration on the 767 allowing for direct aisle access!

Anirban
sure gets to travel a lot! Anirban has been to many of the
Wonders of the World also like the ones below! Want to explore
his travel pictures in detail, click here!
The reason Anirban is holding that magazine is because the local
magazine for their community in California enjoys following Anirban's
travels around the world so they do articles on him.

Anirban and his wife are exploring
Machu Picchu in Peru. | Anirban is visiting the
Taj Mahal in India here on a rainy day!
Anirban enjoys wine
tasting! He is at Fess Parker's Winery here in the Santa Ynez
Valley of Southern California!
Let us
get back in the first class cabin with Anirban and maybe explore one or
two nice destinations that he has been. I will let you check the
rest of the travel section of his web site to see them all! This
is Anirban in Delta's First Class cabin once again. He prefers to
fly Delta for domestic flights since their first class service is a
little better than the other domestic US airlines. I think you
can see there is a "royal" theme to the pictures below. They are
all current or former palaces or royal residences. Anirban is
actually royalty too. No kidding? Anirban's family goes
back to the days of "rajas" in India under British Rule. So, you
may address him as His Highness if you want. Just Kidding.
However, you can find out more about Anirban in the autobiography
section here.



Anirban is at the primary royal
palace in Sweden. | Anirban is at an old palace
in Seoul, South Korea. | Anirban is at the
Edinbourgh Castle in Scotland.

enjoying Jameson at the famous Temple Bar in Dublin, Ireland on New
Year's Eve!
More
food? Yes. Let us explore a tale of amazing lamb dishes two
continents apart! Anirban loves to eat lamb. Prior to his
visit to Cusco in Peru, his favorite lamb dish of all time was the
Scottish Lamb dish at Angels with Bagpipes in Edinbourgh.
However, when he had the 24 hour stewed lamb at Calle de Medio in
Cusco, he knew they outdid the Scottish lamb!

Lamb and
scotch at Angels with Bagpipes in Scotland. |
Anirban's 24 hour stewed lamb leg in Cusco, Peru at Calle de Medio was
amazing!!
Where are they going in a limo? Anirban had two
bachelor parties since we has a large group of friends throughout the
country. The first bachelor party was in Las Vegas. The
guys are about to go out on a night on the town with VIP access to the
club! Technically, Anirban had two official bachelor parties, but
some say the gentlemen's only trip to the Dominican Republic should
count also as a bachelor party. LOL. He also had a buddy
fly in for a fun weekend in Reno since he could not make either of the
parties.
A
sorbet course to cleanse the
pallet is always nice! I trust you agree with us?
May I pour
a little champagne in your sorbet course, Mr.
Roy? LOL. Sure, why not! This was a great dinner
Anirban
had at a nice steakhouse during his 2nd bachelor party! Bon
appetite!
Anirban's luxury SUV ride
is ready at the resort in Park City to take him and Joy for their cross
country experience.
Anirban needs his coffee to stay warm before the cross country trek in
the beautiful Park City area.
Let's get out of the cold now and into the warm waters off the coast of
Turks & Caicos where Anirban is snorkeling on his Honeymoon!
Anirban is enjoying a ginger beer on the world's
best beach, Grace Bay Beach,
in Turks & Caicos. 
Anirban loves whiskey and bourbon! Did we
mention that
he has a barrel with his name on it maturing at one of the rickhouses
in Kentucky? Anirban is a brand ambassador for Maker's Mark kind
of like the "Most Interesting Man" in the world for Dos Equis.
LOL. During Anirban's first tour of the Maker's Mark
Distillery in Loretto, Kentucky, he received his special ambassador's
pin, and he even got to dip his bottle of whiskey into the signature
red wax!
Anirban is dipping his
special
edition bottle of whiskey in the signature red wax.
| Anirban and his wife are about to start their tour of the
distillery. He has a special Ambassador Pin on.
What is his favorite whiskey or
bourbon? Well, Anirban has tasted some very pricey whiskey, but
although he enjoyed a Pappy 12, his favorite so far is the Whistle Pig
Boss Hog VII Magellan's Atlantic! This bourbon is aged for 17
years in American Oak before having Spanish staves touch it. As
it crosses the Atlantic, it is finished in South American teak!
How much? This bottle goes for around $500. Mr. Roy paid
$85 for this drink at a wine bar in Roseville, CA called House of
Oliver. Salud!
Anirban is enjoying a date
night with his then fiancee and now wife, Joy, at Paragary's Midtown
Bistro.
Even when at
business meetings, Anirban likes to have fun and chill too. At
this meeting in Las Vegas, Anirban's company rented out the whole
Hakkasan Club at MGM for the meeting.
Anirban is heading out to meetings
here at the Grand Canal Shoppes in Las Vegas during another
meeting.
Anirban's company rented out
the popular Omnia Club at Caesar's during another meeting in Las
Vegas! Anirban enjoyed himself that evening too!
Anirban is ready to
head out for some golf now! Anirban is not a great golfer, but he
enjoys his tee times! 
Let's go back to Vegas! Mr.
Roy, you may keep this custom flask that we served your "meat packer"
Manhattan in at Catch, compliments of Executive Chef Andrew, who
arranged a special table for Mr. Roy and his friends.
Cheers! Him and his friends spent $1,200 that night at Catch!
Anirban and his wife love to travel! In this
series of pictures, they are in the first class cabin of an United 737.
After being offered his cranberry mimosa, Anirban enjoyed his
pre-ordered breakfast that he selected a few days before his flight.
Then, Anirban was able to watch live DirecTV. Man, the rich
have it so good in this country!


When Anirban returns from his many trips, he prefers a private car
service to wait for him at Sacramento International Airport. His
usual service sends a Lincoln MKT for him! Baller!
Let's get back to some
luxury living! Anirban enjoys staying at the Waldorf Astoria
collection of hotels around the world. Anirban stayed at the
Waldorf Astoria in Panama City, Panama in 2017. The turndown
service was very typical of the luxury brand as they had delicious
macaroons in the room with a thank you note for Mr. Roy. Mr. Roy
enjoyed the rooftop pool area as well.

The macaroons with the turndown service at the Waldorf Astoria Panama
were delicious! | Anirban is about to enjoy the pool too.
Mr. Roy, we have
either a Cadillac or Mustang Convertible here in San Antonio for
you. Which would you like? Let's go with the Caddy!

Anirban and his dad
are eating at the famous Bukhara in New Delhi, India at the five star
ITC Maurya Hotel.
This famous
restaurant called Bukhara in New Delhi, India is one of the top
restaurants in the world. Many US Presidents have dined here
also, and the executive chef was featured on Andrew Zimmern's show, Bizarre Foods.
Anirban was given a private tour of the kitchen as well by the
executive chef while his dad, Dr. Ajit K. Roy, and him dined at this
epicurean delight in the heart of India's capital city. President
Trump ate at this restaurant too in 2020!
Was Anirban always a big
baller? Well sort of! Even back in college, he was an
elected Republican County Official in California. At this
fundraiser, Anirban is seen with the son of Florida Governor Jeb
Bush, George P. Bush, who serves as an elected official in Texas
currently. Anirban's beautiful date, Christina, is also in this
photo. Anirban was involved in politics in his younger days, and
he held very high level positions. You can check out his
political section by clicking this.
Anirban was President of his
fraternity. He is enjoying an exchange with the
sisters of Sigma Alpha at the fraternity house. 
Anirban was kind of a TV Star as
well growing up! Well, OK, he was featured on Mr. Roger's Neighborhood
Segment #1611 (Season 20, Episode 1) in 1989. This is an excerpt
from IMDb listing all the episodes of Mr. Roger's Neighborhood.
Anirban is the cute kid in the light blue shirt. For more
