Classical dance, writing, watching and dissecting films, appreciating good music

My taste in music oscillates between Ghazals and Rock and Metal music. 

I genuinely love exploring poetry of Cohen, Frost, Kipling, Tarapada Ray, and a little bit of Urdu poetry too. 

Love watching and dissecting world films. 

Love honing my writing skills.
