Interests / Hobbies

Interests / Hobbies

Outside of my role as an educator, I’m passionate about a few key interests that enrich my life and keep me inspired. For the past 10 years, I’ve immersed myself in Indian classical music, performing at various events and creating cover songs and singing videos to showcase my talent. This musical journey has been a fulfilling creative outlet and a way to connect with audiences.

Traveling is another significant part of my life. I love exploring new places, meeting diverse people, and experiencing different cultures. I document these adventures to capture and reflect on the unique lifestyles and languages I encounter.

Journaling is a cherished hobby where I write about special events and experiences, preserving memories and insights from my personal and professional life. Additionally, I use my social media platforms to share educational and motivational content, raising awareness about the importance of early childhood education and offering valuable information to my audience.

These hobbies not only keep me engaged and motivated but also complement my professional work by providing creative inspiration and a broader perspective on life.
