Afterwork

Life beyond the dashboards.

The flavours I crave, the places I remember, the songs I replay, and the things I do when the load tests are done.

// 04 · other things i do

Piano, français & poetry.

Music

“Yes !! I play the Piano”

I have been playing the piano since the age of twelve. My proficiency is self-taught, as I use online tutorials to learn and replicate the techniques demonstrated. This pastime is an effective stress reliever, providing a much-needed respite from my professional responsibilities and other obligations.

Languages

“oui !! je parle aussi français”

“Yes !! I speak french too”

In 2015, I completed the A1 level French course at Alliance Bhopal. I have always had an intrinsic curiosity about learning languages. The experience was immensely enriching, helping not only my linguistic development but also my understanding of the cultural practices of native speakers.

Words

I enjoy writing and listening to poetry, especially Urdu poets

Building on my passion for languages, I started writing short narratives in English in my early youth. This continued through college, resulting in three short stories and a prodigious number of poems, the details of which have largely escaped my recollection.
