Writing for Film, Exercise, nature walks
I try to balance hard work with life balance. These are the things I absolutely love. I find time to dive into it regularly when work can take me away, this brings me back. Brings me solitude. I love to be creative, however I enjoy exercise to keep my body healthy, strong and focused. Now a days life is becoming busier for people and the economy is changing. I am at the time in my life where work can be balanced with peace. It recharges and allows me to focus. I can keep to routine but I am adventurous and love to step outside of the box and be spontaneous.
