Since weekends are a time to unwind and relieve my stress, I dedicate a major part of my time to either music or my friends. Both of these play an important role in my life.

I am an avid traveler with a passion for adventure. I have trekked on many mountain ranges like Kumara Parvatha, Mullayanagiri and Kodachadri. Apart from that, I like to take my bike and go on solo trips during weekends. I have explored the length and breadth of Karnataka on my bike. Otherwise, I visit temples with my parents on Saturdays.

I am not much of a party person. I would rather help my mother in the household activities. My cooking skills are quite good and I take over the kitchen during weekends.

Binge watching movies would also be a part of my ideal weekend. I adore Rajkumar and have grown up watching his movies like ‘Bhakta Prahlada’, ‘Sampathige Savaal’, ‘Babruvahana’, ‘Kaviratna Kalidasa’, ‘Bangaarada Manushya’ among many others.

I like reading and literary criticism, biopics and satires are some genres I like. My favourite authors are Kuvempu, SL Bhyrappa, KP Poornachandra Tejaswi and AR Krishnashastry. I am currently reading AR Krishnashastry’s ‘Vachana Bharata’.

Shopping is not on my must-do list, whether on weekends or otherwise. I am not really into shopping and would prefer if someone shops for me. Going to the gym (I don’t work out every day but I would love to incorporate it into my daily routine), watching television shows like ‘Thatt Antha Heli’ and Kannada plays is something I look forward to on weekends

A few of my favourite things:

Composing music

Gaming

Watching movies

Cooking
