reading, listening to music, scientific excursions, watching sci-fi movies.
I love to read books/magazines based on space research, black holes, quantum mechanics and chemistry. Music soothes me in stressful situations. I love travelling to different places to learn new things and experiences and going on scientific excursions like zoos, marine zoos, planetariums,etc. Watching sci-fi movies is my favorite pastime. I love to know about space missions to ISS, moon and mars. I would love to engage in internships or space programme in future, if I get a chance.
