Apart from designing some of my interests include doodling, illustration, sketching random ideas, and cooking something interesting.🎨 I believe these activities are not only a stress reliever but also part of my Ikigai. I also enjoy reading interesting things in design, psychology, and non-fiction.📗 Click on the images below.

Avid podcast listener and reader
I am currently working on reading at least a minimum of 15 minutes a day. I usually pick books on design and personal development.
Steal like an artist and Keep going by Austin Kleon, Refracturing UI by Adam Watham and similar reads would typically be my preferences.
I tune to podcasts on tech, product, design, mental health and spirituality. Some of podcasts I listen to Google Method podcast, Lenny's Podcast, Design MBA, Unsolicited Feedback, Mel Robbins, etc.
Current reads!

Movie and music buff
Music calms and energizes my soul. It keeps me going. I hmm to classics, rock, pop, Bollywood etc.
I like watching movies and also enjoy learning about the creative process behind the scenes and in the making of a film.
I take inspiration from movies as well!

Look for inspiration in nature
I look for inspiration not only by exploring different products but by experiences. I seek inspiration from nature and travel. The little things in life sometimes inspire me to become a better designer, to create a difference with design and also to be more grateful.
