I studied 1 practical & 1 theoretical subject

I used to take regular breaks during the day for long hours. I used to walk for 30 minutes for recreation. I plan to study further to sharpen my skills. Ultimately, I aim to become a successful individual professionally, socially and financially and contribute to the nation’s development. Playing cricket and watching movies or web series are my hobbies. Even during examination preparation, I played cricket which is my favourite pastime. I participated in the CA Premier League as well.
