He also said he was picking up cues from the performance of the Sri Lankan side presently in England. India will be playing a five-Test series after having been hammered 0-4 in England last time around.
"I haven't planned anything but I have charted some preparation and it's going well," Ashwin said.
"I'm just going to go and enjoy my game because I don't think desperation works. I have to be smart about what I'm doing. I've been watching the England-Sri Lanka series, and since Lanka is a sub-continental team like us, I am trying to see what advantage I can take of what is existing there. Although (Rangana) Herath is a left-arm spinner and I'm an off-spinner, I'm trying to pick up what he had to offer," Ashwin said.
Ashwin felt not many players would carry the scars from India's previous tours.
"Our batsmen did well in the IPL. We have no baggage to carry. We'll just look to enjoy our game. It's important, though, to start well. If we can jot down something from our tour games, it will be good," he felt.
It was also an emotional day for Ashwin's father. While recalling his son's initial journey in cricket during a special event for Father's Day, the senior Ashwin chocked. For Ravichandran, a Railways employee, cricket was a dream which he fulfilled through his son.
"Due to our financial conditions, I wasn't able to be a cricketer. However, I didn't want Ashwin to miss out. Even his mother wanted him to play for India," said Ravichandran, before almost breaking down.
He later complimented his son, who is a qualified engineer, saying: "He is a bold, intelligent guy. He is tough to compete with."
