Sports

Sports have always been an important activity in my daily life. I always spent an hour or more in some of the sports activities in which I have my interest, daily.

I invest substantial amount of my leisure time in swimming and athletics. The act of swimming gets me closer to feeling and realizing the strength of my mind and my body. It gets me to concentrate and focus on a singular goal for a sustained period of time. Whenever I feel de-motivated and lacking in energy, I find myself by the swimming pool in my school campus.

Athletics has always infused my mind and body with a fresh breath of energy. It is one of those sports that I indulge in for pure pleasure and body fitness. Also, it offers one more opportunity for me to compete against others and since, I am not necessarily bothered about winning, the process of competing and challenging becomes fun. Also I have participated in several Marathons which proved to be a wonderful experience for participating with community service as a cause.

Also I love skating in which artistic skating is one of my major area in interest. Also I have taken part in several skating championships at school as well as at national levels, which were some of the amazing experiences I ever had.

Music

My passion for music enrolled me for a formal training which help me many folds in different dimensions. It satisfied not only my talents but also my mental and physical growth. The formal training in music visualize an emergence of not only an all-rounder in me but also a well balanced personality. Initially my enrollment to the formal training was a passion driven action but once I started with the same it gave me a new outlook because of the development of so many skills: organizational, interpersonal, spiritual and cultural and many more which are beyond expression.

I truly believe that the teen age is a time of stress and strain and I personally observe majority of my pure community faces new challenges: behavioral, academic etc only because there energy is not properly channelized in the right direction. But in my case the formal training of music not only gave a proper outlook to channelize my energy but at the same time help me to emerge as a well balanced individual. I could prioritize my actions due to this balance mentality. I could easily interconnect the skills which are acquired through music to various disciplines especially in my art subjects where I have to do an in-depth study of various cultures and traditions. My musical passion and musical skill acquisition aided me to the proper understanding of history as well.

My formal training rendered me with quite a vast and deep knowledge about music which I strongly believe would positively constitute towards lessons which I was taking and will going to acquire in future. I also believe that a strong foundation immensely helped in building up a huge projection in terms of music. I can contribute much towards the cultural extravaganza which is going to be a part of university life.

Also I have a world record in The Guinness Book of World Records (2010) for the Longest Guitar Marathon which lasted for 113 hours and also in Ripley's Believe it or not and Limca Book of Records for the same.
