Balance sheets

Love to play basketball, athletic person, poet&writer.

These are the hobbies I have been following from my childhood and it helped me to stay fit physically and mentally. As job in food industry is perfect fit for me because I love working as team either its in sports or somewhere else and it taught me how to gather yourself and zone in to one thing that we need. So I learned how to turn chaos into focus.
