I have a deep passion for music, with experience in singing and playing instruments like the guitar and Casio keyboard. Engaging in sports such as cricket, football, volleyball, badminton, and carrom has helped me develop teamwork, leadership, and strategic thinking skills. These activities contribute to my personal growth, offering a balance between creativity, physical activity, and mental relaxation.
