I enjoy reading the Business Insider, love Bollywood movies, am very competitive at sports specifically football and badminton, a part time player of chess, and adore swimming (some would say pretending to swim).
Aside from my hobbies, I am studying to improve my A-levels and applying to university for 2019 entry to study financial maths. To finance my hobbies and my gap year, I work part time at Moss Bros while exploring other sources of income.

Learning to swim with YouTube
Sounds weird and ridiculous but it works for me at least. Before watching YouTube swimming tutorials, I had never attempted to learn swimming, at most I would be the kind to sit on the side of the pool and place only my lower legs in the water. It may have been my childhood fear of water; hence I avoided the opportunity to learn to swim.
Ever since I have started to learn to swim, I have been simply loving it. It helps me to relax and not think about anything else that I may be going through, this may be because every time I swim it almost feels like I'm in a totally different environment. An environment where you feel relaxed with very little stress.
Typically, swimming helps to exercise all parts of your body and therefore is ideal if you want to stay healthy, whatever your age or ability. Its also an essential life skill to have as it can come in use from saving your own life to someone else's life. In addition, with regular swimming you reduce the risk chronic illnesses, such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes and stroke.
Playing Chess
31 October 2018
Over the last month, I have found myself playing a game or two of chess before bed. I started on a whim. I was using my phone, saw the app, and decided to give it a go.
At school, I regarded chess as a basic board game and paid more attention to Monopoly and Poker. However, I have been pleasantly surprised, as it taught me to think tactically. At the end of the day, I play chess because I enjoy it.
