Outside of work and studies, I have a passion for various activities that keep me active and engaged. I love playing cricket outdoors, where the thrill of the game and camaraderie with friends create unforgettable moments. Indoors, I enjoy playing table tennis, which sharpens my reflexes and adds a competitive edge to my leisure time. I also find solace in nature, frequently going to the hills for hiking and enjoying breathtaking views. Additionally, cycling is another favorite pastime of mine, allowing me to explore new trails and stay fit while embracing the great outdoors. These hobbies not only keep me physically active, but they also provide a wonderful balance to my daily routine.
