Extra-curricular activities - I am afraid my extra curricular activities again are curricular. I am interested in building my capacity on continued basis but at the same time I have certain hobbies which are listed below which I pursue when I am left with any extra time

Hobbies - Swimming, Horse riding and hunting. When tired, I prefer reading history and watch recommended movies. Appreciative of fine arts, I have a keen interest in museology (related Museums and the articles' history etc.) and handicrafts. Last but not the least I like to be with the people and share their insights about life and learn from others’ experiences.
