My hobbies include Research, writing, reading, travelling, running and cycling

I am a very active individual who enjoys learning new things. I am also engaged in research, reading and writing and the quest for more knowledge and a greater level of understanding and education.  I enjoy philosophizing as this formed a part of my studies in the first two years of college. By reading I am able to see the world through the eyes of the author and from their literary works, I am able to gain much experience in a short period of time so as to resolve problems as they present themselves in reality.  


I do enjoy travelling and seeing all the beautiful wonders of the world but I have found that interactions with animals and human beings is the deepest level of beauty that one can experience in this world. 


During my leisure time, I do like to exercise because I believe a healthy body aids with maintaining a healthy mind. Therefore, running, walking and cycling are commonplace in my weekly list of activities.
