Other Interests
Bodybuilding
Have always been fascinated with the world of bodybuilding. From Arnold to Flex, the amount of dedication and hard work required to reach that level is indeed inspirational. The training not only requires discipline but also a tremendous sense of drive that makes every hour involved seem worthwhile.
Modeling
Exploring new adventures play a significant role in bringing excitement in life. The journey just needs to be started without always thinking about the destination!
Running
Running the marathon is much more mental than I had initially anticipated it to be. I feel that the body is always capable of going beyond as long as the mind is comfortable with it. Making the mind comfortable is the biggest hurdle, and then the rest follows with ease. It was one of the most thrilling moments of my life when I finally could run past the Finish line of the 26.2 mile race
Crossing the finish line
Martial Arts
Started training in Shotokan Karate under Sense Fessaro in Minneapolis. Later began training in Tae-Kwon-Do under Grandmaster Roh at the Swong Moo Kwan School of Tae-Kwon-Do in Minneapolis where the black belt was earned in October 2000. Here also, the mental setup and resolve were found outweighing the physical prowess required to achieve the goal.
Breaking demonstration on the day of the black belt test.
Drones
Toyed around with few drones before recently looking into the Hover Camera which I'm using to take photos and videos (like the ones below).
Nothing beats keeping a soccer ball in the air!

I guess I like keeping a shuttlecock up in the air as well!
An interesting way to improve one's form in cricket!
Golf
Recently developed quite a liking for golf - both outdoor and indoor!
Playing few holes with help of a simulator at Golf X in Woodbury!
A compilation of videos of all of my fun activities
The year 2019 somehow gave birth to instances for me to try out some new activities. Had nothing but fun.
