I love tasting different cuisines from around India and am a huge Real Madrid fan (football for the uninitiated). I love listening to music and Queen is one of my favorite bands. I love calligraphy and sketching and usually use my free time to write, read, or sketch. That all I have achieved up till now, and let see what the future holds. Thank you!
