Writing
Writing has been a constant since childhood, from notebooks filled with stories and poems to the long process of completing a full novel.
- My novel, "The Room of Death," is awaiting publication after countless late-night sessions, revisions, and refinements.
- I also publish short stories and poetry on Instagram, often exploring emotion, observation, and the quieter intricacies of everyday life.
Reading
Reading is an instinct-led journey through history, science, mythology, psychology, strategy, and ideas that sharpen how I understand people and systems.
- Books such as Daniel Kahneman's "Thinking, Fast and Slow" have deepened my interest in human behavior and decision-making.
- The Bhagavad Gita and Sun Tzu's "The Art of War" continue to shape my thinking about duty, ethics, resilience, strategy, and adaptation.
Music
Music is both refuge and expression, connecting the melodic traditions of India and the West through listening, reflection, and playing the guitar.
- Jagjit Singh remains my favorite artist; his voice and poetic phrasing carry an emotional depth that continues to resonate with me.
- Playing guitar gives me a personal way to explore melody and rhythm, whether revisiting classics or experimenting with unfamiliar tunes.
- Ghazals hold a special place in my listening for their lyrical beauty and ability to communicate what ordinary language often cannot.
Trivia
Trivia keeps curiosity active across history, science, literature, technology, and popular culture.
- I enjoy discovering obscure connections and testing them through quizzes, games, and spontaneous conversations.
- It is a playful discipline that continually expands my knowledge and connects me with people who enjoy the fascinating details of the world.
