Personal

Arts

I do write poems, stories, and articles, mostly in Marathi. Some of them can be found on my blog.

Occasionally, I write one act plays (in Marathi). I have written and directed plays for "Purushottam Karandak", oldest inter-collegiate one act play competition in Pune and also for "Firodiya Karandak", inter-collegiate competition of synchronized drama and performing arts.

I have also acted in many plays.

I also like to play "Tabla", an Indian classical percussion instrument. I have passed several exams of Tabla conducted by `Akhil Bhartiya Gandharva Mahavidyalaya', national level council for classical music.
