Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to music from around the world. Mostly I prefer slow melodious music, of a variety of Indian languages.

I like Iranian and Malayalam movies.

Some of the fiction I enjoyed reading are 'The Book Thief', 'The Kite Runner' and 'And the Mountains Echoed'. I enjoy reading non-fiction and watching travel/food shows on YouTube too.
