Reading, Writing, travelling, cooking and interior decorating.
I see reading as a gateway to learning, entertainment, and personal growth. My writing skills are essential in academics, and personal contexts, enabling individuals to articulate their perspectives and contribute meaningfully to society. My favorite of all favorites is traveling, whether for leisure, education, or business purposes, travel offers opportunities for exploration, adventure, and relaxation. It allows individuals to step out of their comfort zones, create lasting memories, and develop a deeper understanding of the world around them.
