Dancing, travelling, engaging in conversations, mentoring
Good Music gives pleasure to the soul and dance is reciprocity of good music. I give meaning to music by dancing and this serves not just as a pleasurable activity but a physical one to, thereby helping me stay fit and in shape. I enjoy road trips and when I do I try to engage in enriching conversations with people around me.
