Limited Working
Hiking, Reading books, singing.
Hiking is one of the best stress reliever, helps me calm down my mind and its more fun to go with my dog. I make sure to make time to go out with my dog everyday for a walk to a nearby park but during weekends and long gaps we go out to long trails where we can spend hours walking. one of the best hikes has been to Grouse Mountain the longest, most fun.
These days my readings are limited as I spend most of the time with my family and dog but I make sure to read once a day. My favorite finish is The Immortals Of Meluha, its about a Hindu God Shiva, how he became a God from a ordinary man.
Singing, it it makes me happy.
