hobbies

carnatic violin

I have been playing violin for the past 7 years and have been performing for the past year and a half. I often travel to India to learn and live in that environment during the Chennai Music Season.

chess

I got really into chess during my freshman year of highschool and played so much throughout highschool that I was burnt out from a board game.
I took a break during my freshman year of college and now starting to get back into -- playing a few games a day.

basketball

I've been playing basketball since I was 6 and it has remained a constant throughout my life ever since. I love the NBA though I don't support a specific team. After watching The Last Dance documentary, I was hooked on Michael Jordan and the '90s Bulls. He has been my favorite player since then.

lifting

Lifting had become a hobby of mine ever since a new Planet Fitness was built in my town. I wasn't very consistent my senior year of highschool as Track and Field took up much of my time and energy -- though I did lift a little during weight room sessions. My first year of college was similarly inconsistent but more for lack of time management than anything else. So far this summer, I've done a good job staying on top of my workouts and being consistent.
