I don't work
For study - frequently
As a hobby -  Lisp is one of the first languages I consider for any program
 
- Are you using Lisp as much as you would like to?
  If not, why not?
No, because Lisp libraries and programs can be sometimes hard to setup.

  is the biggest obstacle in your opinion)?
Yes. Probably because Lisp is thought of as an exotic language.

I'd be very much interested. I'm hoping Lisp folks in Bangalore would
meet someday.
