Travel is essential to my perspective. I am on an active quest to visit all UNESCO World Heritage Sites across India (currently 28/45 completed).
I'd often go on solo trips and explore new places on my own. I believe that solo travel is the best way to learn about oneself and grow as an individual. At the time of writing this, I've already been to 20+ solo trips in my life covering 60+ cities in India.

I have a special liking for games with a good storyline and character development. I believe that games are a form of art and can evoke emotions and feelings just like any other form of art. Playing a game with a good story can be a truly immersive experience, it's like being part of a movie where you control the actions of the protagonist. Games like The Last of Us, God of War, Uncharted, Red Dead Redemption 2, Spider-Man, Batman and more have left a lasting impact on me.

I also enjoy playing the Guitar and Piano. I've been learning to play those instruments for a few months now with little success. I am into Bollywood music especially the ones from 2003-2013. I've grown up listening to those songs on 9XM. They are still part of my playlist and I often listen to them while working or traveling. I've a special liking for slow romantic songs. I'd often try to sing those and create covers of them. My favorite singers are Arijit Singh, Mohit Chauhan, Sonu Nigam, and Shreya Ghoshal.

I think most people who travel have a natural inclination towards photography. I am no different. I love capturing moments and creating memories through photographs.

I believe that photography is a form of art that allows you to express yourself and capture the beauty of the world around you.

Cooking is one of my favorite hobbies and I enjoy experimenting with different cuisines and recipes. I believe that cooking is a form of art that allows you to express yourself and create something delicious from scratch.
I like to cook mostly Indian dishes. But, I do occasionally try my hand at other cuisines like Chinese and Italian. I enjoy cooking for my friends and family and love to see the smiles on their faces when they taste my food. I remember it was during the lockdown that I started cooking and experimenting with new recipes because we were forced to. I started with cooking Pizza and vegetable Pulao and since then haven't looked back. I'd often refer Youtube cooking channels especializing in Indian cuisine for new recipes and try them out. I believe that cooking is a great way to relax and unwind after a long day and it is a skill that everyone should learn. I'd often close or open my day with a cooking session.
I'm pretty much average in sports but I do enjoy playing them. I have played Cricket, Badminton, Table Tennis, and Football. I enjoy watching Tennis and Football matches on TV and had been following the matches previously in the era of big 3. I have a special liking for Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, in Tennis. I don't think we'd ever see 3 players of their caliber in the same era again. I also used to regularly follow football when Real Madrid was at its peak with Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Modric, Kroos, Benzema, Bale, Ramos, Marcelo, Casillas, and more. I've stopped following sports lately but do enjoy watching Crickt matches occasionally with my friends and family.

Everyone around me seems to love watching movies and TV shows. I am not a big fan of them. I'd often watch movies with my friends and family but I don't have a habit of watching them alone. I'd often watch movies in theaters with my friends and family and there would often be a big gap between the movies I watch. I am a big fan of Marvel and DC movies and have watched most of them. My favorite movies are Avengers Endgame, LOTR, The Dark Knight, Harry Potter Series, Inception, Good Will Hunting, The Shawshank Redemption, original Spider-Man .
In bollywood I'd often watch movies which have a good storyline and acting. I'd really think a lot before watching a movie because I believe that time is precious and I don't want to waste it on something that doesn't add value to my life.
