Painting, singing, dancing , writing and cooking
These hobbies are my stress buster. I love to paint although I am not that much good . Whenever I feel so stressed or over whelmed I listen music. I love to dance especially my cultural dance Bhangra but always looking forward to learn new dance style. I love to write poetry , whenever I can't express myself I turn my feelings into words
