Frankly speaking, the term 'Interest' to me is a thing that undergoes a series of changes in the lifetime of a human being. According to me, a person's interest over a particular thing is based on it's impact over him/her. So, my interests which I state here — too — were also subjected to such above said changes. I believe interests may change with surroundings, environment, time, situations and exposure to things. With this I begin here...

Lifelong Learning
Learning brings a Sense of Life.
I remember those childhood days — in our school — where I was compelled to learn. Learning for me in those days, as I thought, was to read — to answer questions, for class assignments and for tests. Perhaps those punishments which I received for poor performance in tests, assignments, etc., made me think in such a way.
Those were the days I had a wrong notion of learning. But, my real interest for learning developed in my college days.

I repeat, Learning brings a sense of life. The more we learn, the more we know about us and things surrounding us. It is a thing without which life becomes meaningless. "You are what you learn" and I accept this statement. The understanding of ourselves helps us to live better by utilizing our potential. By educating ourselves we are actually helping ourselves — by guiding our thoughts and actions.

Learning, to me, is a lifelong process. I strongly believe that education from a school or college alone will not, in all ways, help a man — to understand life. The taste of education can be felt only when one has a personal commitment to learn. I can say that knowledge is everything — literally and virtually. The consciousness that you are existing and that you interact with the environment surrounding you is itself a knowledge. That's why knowledge is important. So, Lifelong Learning is what interests me more.

reading
Reading is to learn, to pass time, to enjoy.
I enjoy reading books, particularly those under the category of science, philosophy, psychology and self-improvement.

♫ Music
Music is the lubricant of life. Music brings back life to the soul — when it gets tired and looses hope. Music refreshes mind. I love to hear from the wild, the sweet voices of birds; the buzzing sound of bees; the sounds made by crickets at night; the 'maa' of cows; the water flow from a falls.

I love karnatic music. I love the sounds of veena and flute. My favorite music composers were A.R. Rahman and Harris Jeyaraj. I enjoy music on the go while travelling.

☼Web Designing
I design webpages and logos during weekends. I am a freelance web designer. I now design logos and webpages under the brand name CarbonQ. If you are interested in developing a personal/family/portfolio or a corporate website, feel free to contact me. I design on per project basis and 'affordable creativity' is my principle in web design.

Photography
I am not a professional photographer. I love to capture nature and life from my camera's eye. I love photography. I am a beginner. I love it & I'm learning it. I update my day-to-day photographs in my Photoblog.
