Love playing tennis

I started playing tennis five years ago and fell in love with the game. I train an hour daily early in the morning.

Love Writing

I like to inspire people to believe in themselves. My last screenplay Gongoro And the Search of the Legendary Falcon, is about developing a Universal Consciousness.
