Running

I owe this one to my dad, who took me out to one of his weekend runs. Initially it was only something I took up as a challenge, but soon it became a hobby of sorts. Now, I find going out for a run as the best way to relax myself mentally. I have completed 2 half-marathons (21.1km) till date and plan to do a full-marathon some day.

Listening to Music

My taste is music is not very specific and I listen to all sorts of songs. This is partly the courtesy of me and my brother constantly bombarding each other with recommendations. I even listen to music while studying which weirdly enough doesn't break my focus. Some songs I frequently play on repeat are:

• Bowling for peace by Prasanna
• Hope is a heartache by LÉON
• Heat Above by Greta Van Fleet
• Willy's Song by Rayland Baxter

Reading Novels

I have always loved reading since my mom bought us the complete Amar Chitra Katha set. The transition towards novels began with the Harry Potter and the Percy Jackson series. I tend to stay in the fiction-genre most of the time. Some other novels I have loved are:

• The Clifton Chronicles by Jeffrey Archer
• The Robert Langdon books by Dan Brown
• Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace

As of now, I have a bunch of novels which are all uncharted territory due to the (mostly self-induced) lack of time.

Swimming

Nothing much to say about this one. Started going out for swims in the 8th grade with school friends and discovered that I loved to stay in the water if given the opportunity :).
