Interests
I have lots n lots and the problem is alloting time to all my interests...
I sing carnatic classical music which is the classical music of South India. Have given a few concerts. Love Indian Classical Music and also Western Classical Music and Italian Opera. Apart from the Classical tradition, i also like any other types of music like world music, folk, french chansons, indian filmi songs , Ghazals etc.
I love arts and so love visiting art galeries and i too paint a bit and used to design greetings cards ( no time now to make them).
Love reading and i read a lot as my interests are varied.I read both fiction and non fiction and also magazines and internet news sites both in English and French.I love reading books on philosophy,history,religion,music etc. Well now as i had mentioned French, i love learning new foreign languages.French is my favourite!
I love nature and wildlife and birdwatching is one of my hobbies right from Childhood.Can identify a lot of birds.Love visiting wildlife reserves & camping.
I also like Theatre and opera. Particularly the modern indian theatre scene and ofcourse the French ones.
Also love cooking and food. I am specially interested in Wine due to the French influence and have visited Wineries in France and the US and i read a lot about wine. Have attended Wine tasting workshops in France and the US.
Travel... I cant live without travelling and getting to know new cultures and people. Adore cross cultural studies!
Love biking and cars...going for long rides listening to some great music!
