More About Me
Although my primary focus has been studies ,I'm definitely not one-dimensional ! I have many different sides to my personality ( I mean to say interests , not the split personality disorder :-)).
Art and Painting
I developed interest in drawing since I was a little kid. I loved to draw potraits of famous person and mythical Indian Gods .I never enrolled in a professional drawing class, only took lessons from a private drawing teacher, although I sat for Fine Arts(Painting) examination of an Art Academy called Pracheen Kala Kendra,Chandigarh,India. I did paintings with crayons,pastels, pencil sketching and water colours. I could only complete upto 4th year("Chitra Bhushan" Part I,II,III and "Chitra Visharad" part I) ,one more year, "Chitra Visharad" part II would have earned me the diploma degree "Chitra Visharad". Unfortunately, I couldn't continue any further as I was entering 10th grade which was school leaving year and my teacher left for his higher diploma in painting.I could have joined a local drawing class but then I started higher secondary school (11th and 12th grade),and then undergraduate college, ohhh !. I was about to start "Oil Painting", but that never happened :(. I regret that a lot and it has been over a decade now that I have stopped painting. I wish someday I would start again !
Sports
I am also a big sports lover. I love to watch and play many games and always keen to learn new ones.I come from a cricket loving nation, so naturally I love that game.Also, I come from a football (soccer) loving region(eastern part of india) and so love that game too. I also like swimming, badminton, table tennis, volleyball, basketball and tennis which I really enjoy playing now.The latest addition is watching American football,which I did not like initially, as it was too violent for me then.
Music
I always loved listening to music of all kinds,but never really got into learning. Although my two sisters took Indian classical music lessons for some years, I was happy with my studies, sports and paintings ! Maybe it was my environment or something else, I don't know exactly what, I never felt stongly about learning music or, any instrument.Now after starting graduate school, I realized that something was missing and felt the urge to really learn something.I started with Guitar(self-teaching) and I'm now also interested in learning Violin.
Universe and the World
Last,but not the least, I'm an avid seeker of knowledge be it scientific , philoshopical and spiritual , metaphysical or anything else. I love to read anything and everything I find about the universe,the nature, the earth and its civilization throughout the human history. I'm intereseted in knowing new planets or stars found in the galaxy ,new scientific discovery, or a new theory, new archaeological discoveries about early civilization, their culture, religion, etc.I really can't have enough of these things.
