► Coding
• One of my favorite hobbies is to just sit down and code. I love working with front-end based applications. As you can see I enjoy creating web applications.
► Dancing
• Although I like to code and enjoy it, I also like to dance. I was a captain of a Georgia Tech Dance Team called Qurbani, in which we did various types of dances, such as Bhangra, Hip Hop, and Bollywood.
• I also do cultural indian dances for my temple - BAPS.
► Sports
• Either it football, basketball, soccer, or any other type of physical activity, I love to be active and I enjoy doing outdoor activities. I also like to do Insanity(a high intensity workout - pushes me to my limits).
• I enjoy playing and watching basketball and Kobe is my favorite player.
