Singing, Playing soccer
Singing and vocal practice have been my passion since childhood. Songs are predominantly South indian bordering on classic and contemporary genres. I have had professional training and keep myself occupied whenever I am free. I am waiting for my big break one day to showcase my talents on the grand stage in india.
I have been playing soccer as a kid and am still doing so playing either Futsal or Walking Football during weekends. I am also an avid fan of Liverpool Football Club in England for over 40 years and have supported them all through my life.
