Hobbies and Interests  
 

My hobbies and interests include Gardening, Reading, Writing, Movies, Travelling and Sports. 

In Reading, I like to read literature, poetry and novels in particular. I also love to read History, Wars, Politics, Biographies, Anthropology, Sociology and Religion.

In Writing, I like to write about my travelling adventures, important experiences of life and sometimes poetry as well, though I confess that I love to write poetry and my own poetry collection is enough to publish a book at least.

I like watching Movies too, if they meet my choice.
The Message, Ten Commandments, Phantom of the Opera, Around the World in 80 Days, Changai Knights, Kingdom of Heaven, Lion of the Dessert, Gladiator, Lord of the Rings......are my favorite movies. The recent movies I have watched are: Seven Pounds, Gajini, Australia, Bedtime Stories, Bolt, Madagascar, Beverly Hils Chi HwaHwa.


I love Gardening but I have rare chances to do it being out of home since last several years. Nevertheless, I like to keep indoor plants wherever I may be.

In Sports, I like playing Chess, Badminton, Pool and Cricket. In watching, I like few sports but Pool, Cricket, Hockey, Football and Gymnastic would work too. I also love going Fishing on the early mornings of Saturdays or Sundays. I love nature so its in my genes to go out doors for hiking and trekking in groups.

Travelling to me is like breathing. Its my aim to see at least half of the countries in this world in my lifetime. I have been to few and wish to travel to many more. Going to different places, understanding various cultures, meeting people of different colors and races, eating different foods, and discovering the nature is a great fun. I love to travel and try to fulfill my quest for discovery. Some friends call it 'wander lust' ... I term it a 'global voyage', a never ending journey to discover the beautiful world we live in.. 

Last but not the least, my hobbies include collecting Key Chains, Perfumes, Books, Artifacts, and Souvenirs from various cultures and countries.
