Interests **TL;DR**
When I am not working/studying, I love to read: Historic fiction and Dystopian and Wit are my favorites (XKCD is my all time favorite for sarcasm) , cook: More like experimenting different good combinations to discover better ones , binge watch: "*" (SQL fam you know what * stands for) , and sky gaze: Pink-Blue skylines and darker blue ones stars are my favorites. And now you know my motivation behind the landing page.
