An Account of Personal Interests

You approach your mid-30s and you lock in your interests. I have been finding myself getting attracted to farming and gardening. I would probably find myself doing farming after some time. I'm specially interested in horticulture but that needs land and capital so I guess farming has to wait a bit and till then I can focus on gardening. I have had kitchen gardens since I was a kid, and growing flowers and vegetables while getting peace of mind working in your garden is satisfying. I love dogs and have had a Labrador Retriever and two Anatolian Shepherds in my family. I have wanted to own a Sheprador since a very long time and probably I will but it is difficult to find a purebred Sheprador. I love dogs as pets, and I recommend anyone struggling with mental health issues to own a dog. This one animal loves you unconditionally and is loyal to you, more than any human will ever be. I like cats as animals, but I have intense hatred towards them as pets. In my personal opinion, and pardon my french, only masochistic idiots have cats as pets. For entertainment I watch wildlife documentaries and superhero movies and read books and comic books. I personally find movies other than superhero movies a waste of time though there are some exceptions like when Cristopher Nolan or Tom Cruise release a movie. I like doing Yoga and Pranayama, and I really want to master Yoga and increase my flexibility as I had suffered a bit of neurological issues during my college time. I love watching American professional wrestling, and although they have toned it down since late 90s and early 2000s, it is, in my opinion, still the greatest form of entertainment known to mankind. I like watching martial art competitions and taekwondo tricking competitions. Taekwondo tricking is one of my favourite sports. Another favourite sport is Freestyle Motocross and I try to follow it as much as I can. I like motorcycles and in them, cafe racers and dirtbikes. And though I see a lot of people having genuine interest in cars, I'm not much interested in cars. I like small cars that can take me from one place to another. In music I like rock music and Indian classical, especially Carnatic, I like a bit of funk and dubstep and other experimental genres too and I love to listen to American hiphop from the 90s, I like watching turntable scratching competitions on YouTube. My idea of a good time is discussing philosophy and cosmology with like minded people on a Saturday afternoon in a very middle class but decent Kolkata beer pub. And, as people who know me know, I write. I don't get time to pursue all my interests but I read and write regularly. My favourite authors are Lovecraft, Kafka, Conan Doyle and Premchand. I try to read at least one book a week and try to write daily, in my journal and on my blogs.
