Interests

Apart from being a developer, I enjoy most of my time being outdoors. In the winter, I am an avid cyclist and loves going out for a spin. During the warmer months here in Delhi, I enjoy swimming, playing pool, and mobile games.

I am a trustworthy technical troubleshooter for my friends and relatives. When forced indoors, I follow a number of sci-fi and fantasy genre movies and television shows, and I spend a large amount of my free time writing technical articles on geeksforgeeks and exploring the latest technology advancements in the world.
