Extracurriculars

Painting is my way of expressing creativity, emotions and my favourite pastime. I enjoy experimenting with different styles and mediums. I have expertise in pencil shading, character sketching, landscape and costume designing. I aspire to learn oil pistils and master watercolour paintings

Fun fact: I have a small collection of my paintings at home!

I enjoy classical and contemporary dance including kathak and bharatnatyam. It helps me stay fit, express emotions, and explore creativity.

Fun fact: I performed in Annual Insync Dance Show at IIT Bombay twice, CSEA freshers welcome and CSE traditional day but I am too shy to share the videos sadly... 🎶

Swimming keeps me fresh and active. I used to compete in freestyle and relay events during my high school days but left the hobby due to JEE :(

I enjoy eating a lot more than cooking rather. I love trying new recipes and experimenting with flavors. Baking is my pastime. I miss the old days when I used to cook and eat with my sister :(

I enhanced this hobby during my summer research internship in Europe when I had to cook for myself as I am vegetarian hehe

Cooking 1 Cooking 2 Cooking 3

I love exploring technology, hackathons, and creating innovative projects.
