Embedded Files
Sometimes I spend more time here than my primary activities.
We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. - Dead Poets' Society
Reading is my favorite pastime. I mostly read fiction but sometimes also read memoirs related to war. Adventure, War, Thrillers are some of my favorite genres. I like to read stories with inside life messages. I generally detest preachy motivational non-fiction. Hop on to my Goodreads profile to follow my reading activity. Though there will be many five star reads, some of the books and authors which I have related to most are:
Harry Potter, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Book Thief, Anxious People
Haruki Murakami, Frederick Backman, Khaled Hosseini, George Orwell, Margaret Atwood, Markus Zusak
Photography has developed as a new hobby in the recent years. I would consider myself an easygoing amateur photography enthusiast. I like to take instant photos using my mobile phone whenever I see scenes which intrigue me. The scenes generally are devoid of humans I know as I like spending time with nature. I am also interested in editing photos to get the best out of them. Hop on to my public Instagram account where I post photos taken and edited by me.
Following sports has existed since childhood. From reading sports pages in newspapers to watching live matches in television.
Cricket is a religion in India and the same applies to me. An all time fan of Indian cricket team but I also like to follow neutral matches. Test matches, World cups, Ashes, T20 leagues, women's cricket and everything. 2011 ICC World Cup win is the most memorable. Another added recently: 2024 ICC T20 WC.
Football interest has also developed as I grew up. The synchronization between the players as they find the best way to put the ball into opponents goal is nothing short of art. The 2006 FIFA WC final, Barcelona vs Chelsea CL semifinal, 2022 FIFA WC are some of the memorable moments. I also enjoyed playing FIFA the computer game.
I also become an occasional follower of Tennis during grand slams and other sports during events like Olympics.
Esports have also been a big part during my growing up to relax in between hectic schedules.
Travel teaches us many lessons. It allows us to look at things from a larger perspective. It shows that we are like dust particles in the greater scheme of things of the universe and no problems are larger than us. I like to travel in groups as well as solo. Sitting by the sea or by fire in hill stations, I always like vacations and travels. I also like to enjoy the local cuisines a new place provides and explore the historic places around.
Poetry, Music, Movies are also arts which I consume. Though I am a novice in these fields I follow and try to understand these arts and the thought process of creative people. I am an admirer of Urdu and Hindi poetry forms, music and spoken poetry. Songs are also great to calm myself. I also like watching movies which involve less of action and more of human relations.
