My Hobbies
Magic and Cardistry
I’m a cardistry and close-up magic enthusiast, with a passion for collecting and studying decks of playing cards—both as a hobby and as souvenirs. Specializing in card magic, I’ve performed tricks and sleights such as the Double Lift and the Pass at school assemblies and for friends, sharing the wonder of sleight of hand. I also created my own effects, which I would perform at school and at home. I used to run a YouTube channel when I was 12, teaching tricks to fellow magic lovers. Magic has been a part of my life ever since, blending creativity, skill, and performance.

Reading
When I’m not engaged in other projects or hobbies, you’ll usually find me reading! I’ve been an avid reader since the age of 4, and my passion for books has only grown stronger over the years. While I have a particular love for science fiction, fantasy, and action genres, I often explore a wide range of other genres as well. Reading has always been a constant source of inspiration and enjoyment for me, offering endless worlds to discover and stories to dive into.
Music
I’m a music enthusiast who loves to dive deeper than just the sound. I enjoy exploring the history of different styles, production techniques, and the stories behind my favorite artists. My top genres include Hip hop, Bollywood, and early-2010s pop, and I’m a huge fan of Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, J Cole, Post Malone, and Sam Smith. Whether I’m studying, working, at the gym, or just relaxing, you’ll never find me without my headphones on and music playing. Music is a constant companion in everything I do.
Table Tennis
I’ve been playing table tennis since I was 10, initially learning from my father and grandfather before training with professional coaches. I’ve been part of both my school and house table tennis teams, gaining valuable experience in competitive play. I’ve had the honor of competing in nationals twice, with my proudest achievement being 1st place in the Under-17 Table Tennis Team Event at the 2022 International Schools Sports Organisation National Games. Table tennis has been a huge part of my life, combining passion with discipline.
