I love spending time outdoors, particularly playing soccer and going for runs, hikes and walks. Below is a dashboard that explains how spending time outdoors helps me rejuvenate. Some people also call it 'running meditation' and it seems to have worked quite well for me.

- Soccer and related activities:
- I play recreational soccer (okay, football!) these days. Have had a couple of good seasons playing in the local amateur league organized by City of Auburn (Alabama). Winner (Spring 2024, Fall 2024, Summer 2025), Runner-Up (Summer 2024).
- Not long ago I was also a member of the soccer team for my university in India (2013-14, 2014-15, 2016-17, 2017-18).
- In addition to playing I have also started my coaching license courses. Currently, I am pursuing the grassroots soccer coaching license offered by US Soccer. License earned: Grassroots 11 v 11.
- I am an assistant coach for a team in the recreational league at Auburn, Alabama (U-13 and U-16 boys).
