Hobbies & Interests
I chose computers as my career path before films and world cinema was introduced to me. While computer, and later the presentation layer challenges, scripted my present from every aspiration and each achievements, films, for me, has always been a stress buster and gives me the required kick to keep going. Personally it is hard for me to say if its the celluloid that attracts me or its ability to cover and showcase human emotions.
It began with films and moved to comics and specifically the anatomy behind characters like The Batman. Believing hobbies finds its impact in daily life, I often believe it has somehow affected my inclination towards front-end, where what/how we render the right data is equally important.
While I enjoy the visual medium, I have struggled to keep up with reading as an hobby. Though I never stopped trying.
Below are some of my getaway hobbies/interest:
Batman
If there is at all one character which can have a deep impact on you, it has to be The Batman. All you need to do is give him your time. This character is a fictional depiction of what hope & strength may resemble when you see nothing but pain and disappointment around you, both at the level of personal capacity and as a citizen. Gotham on the other hand is a great motivation but I believe, it is his greatest opponent.
Films
Everyday I love films more than yesterday. While good ones are the best stress busters, bad ones are sometimes better. One of the best things about films has been the way every execution of a story can be a complete different interpretation. Hence, a film not only transmits you into a different zone but also tells you about people who belongs to your own world.
Photography
While I never struggled with starting a new hobby, my limitation has always been my failure towards consistency. I started off with taking pictures to understand how to play with pixels on various photography tools. And though I spent a considerable time with the camera, I can't say same about my original intention of enabling the picture to convey more. Nevertheless, I am still fascinated by imagery and the perspective it showers on me – sometimes new sometimes redundant.
With time, the more we try to grow up, the more we want to be expressed. Personally, it was an easy transition for me from being termed anti-social among siblings into someone who talks more than enough. I figured my love for playing with words was either a defence mechanism or my attempt to trivialize situations. In both cases I wasn’t being true to myself. Thus I began utilizing my love for cinema and words together. I wasn’t exposed to world cinema until I was in college, away from my home town, thus reviewing ...local cinema in my diary enabled me to explore and express. I was lucky to be introduced to internet in my hometown and some of the early portals introduced me to the unknown. And some provided platforms to publish articles. The name blog was still alien to me but it was nothing less. Right before my college ended, the portal vanished and so did my reviews and articles. Alongside I lost my interest while rest of the life took mileage. Now I intend to restart the once acquainted hobby and see if there is anything left to express.
