The nineteen years of my existence on this planet has led me to conclude that ‘Life’ has a tremendous lot of things to offer. Ever so often I come across something new and then I want to know all about it. There is so much to do and know, and so little time.
Anyway I sat wondering about what it was that I was very passionate about in my life.
There are three things that I pursue with a lot of enthusiasm and interest namely reading, traveling and music. The absence of either of these wouldn’t do.
I shall try and justify each of them one at a time.
If your parents are on a transferable job then its not surprising to be on the move all the time. I’ve been living a sort of nomadic life for as long as I can remember. The result is that I’ve had an opportunity to visit innumerable places all over India. Exploring and looking at situations and things practically is much more effective than theory alone. For example, on a recent trip to Ladhak I learnt about how people survive in areas with extreme conditions like sub-zero temperatures and very high altitude. I also had an opportunity to visit Siachen glacier which is the highest war front in the world. Now I probably know what Afghanistan looks like because it has similar geographical features.
Similarly I’ve been able to learn many more things on various trips and occasions.
The second thing that I am truly passionate about is reading. Any person who enjoys reading can never have enough of it. Be it fiction, literature, history, facts, reality, news or any other category, anything and everything interests me. Infact a major part of my free time is spent in pouring over some article on the Internet or books. Reading is a great a pastime and it immensely increases ones sphere of knowledge. Plus if you have something to read along with you then there is no requirement of any other companion. All in all it is an excellent hobby.
Finally the list of passions in my life can never ever be complete without Music. It is said that music is a way of life and I believe that is cent percent true. Without it our existence will not be complete. Infact a majority of the people with agree with my opinion.It touches lives in some way or the other.When I play an instrument or sing a note it gives me a kind of thrill that cannot be explained.Music is for all occasions. Be it happy, sad, joy, celebration or any emotion in the world.At the end of hectic day listening to some soothing music calms ones mind and nerves in an almost magical way. For me music is rejuvenating and it is something that I enjoy with all my heart and soul. It will always remain an eternal part of me.
