Here is a collection of my interests and hobbies that I strive to incorporate into my routine. Hopefully, some of these ideas resonate with you. I would love to get your feedback!

I began writing poems, essays, and commentaries during my teen years in Bangalore, India. Poetry, as an art form, emphasizes the development of concepts and ideas in a concise and powerful manner and makes one a better writer. Several of my essays and commentaries were published in leading newspapers and magazines.

Every morning I include a few miles of running as part of my exercise regimen, with long runs reserved for the weekends. I have officially completed three marathons, several half-marathons, and dozens of 10K races. My training regimens for my marathons were largely based on recommendations provided by Jeff Galloway in his book “The Art of Running.” The best marathon time I achieved was 4HR 3Min 58 Sec, while my half-marathon PR is 1 HR 47 Min.

I enjoyed being a tournament level chess player during my teen years. These days I play some rapid chess on chess.com, a fantastic portal for chess lovers of all levels.

Tennis has been a fun way to add variety and excitement to my exercise regimen. Vastly different from regular running due to the sudden bursts, twists, and turns!
