Reading, Singing and Cooking

Reading, Singing and Cooking

I derive immense joy in exploring diverse literary piece ranging from fiction to non-fiction. Reading helps me explore new vocabularies and vary my sentence structure, I'm able to think on the spur and handle conversations without stuttering. Reading for me is a constant journey of exploration and new discoveries.

 I'm passionate about singing because this is one of the ways of my self-expression. Singing along my favorite songs is soul-lifting and heavenly. 

Cooking is a hands-on activity which gives me the liberality of expressing my creativity, by blending together different ingredients to make tasty, nutritious and irresistible dishes gives me intrinsic satisfaction, leaving a long lasting memory that not even time could obliterate.
