[rafikdz]

What is your prefered TV. Show?

[spxpert]

Mehvish, 
Currently there are so much contents to watch on TV,  that you could easily spend rest of your life sitting infront of your TV (aka idiot box).  
Just make this something that you do only for limited time for recreation,  do not make it a hobby,  it doesnt take you anywhere.

Yes, Traveling, reading and swimming.

[rafikdz]

Nice hobbies 😄 Traveling, reading, and swimming offer a great balance of adventure, knowledge, and relaxation. Any favorite destinations, books, or memorable swimming spots you'd recommend? Sharing tips and stories is always fun

I am a distance runner,  completed several full marathons (42.2kms) and few ultra marathons (50+km).  It's an essential part of my daily routine for over a decade now.  Helps me clear my thought and bring focus to my work

[rafikdz]

That is a good one, but needs a lot of committiment and conditioning.

what country you are running ?

[spxpert]

Currently I am in beautiful city of Pune, India.   Marathon requires a lot of commitments and sacrifices (evening parties, late night binge watch, junk food),  so does everythign else in our life that we need to improve.  There is a lot you can learn by training for Marathon.
It just brings decipline in almost every area of your life,  when we have less time,  we tend to make best use of it.

[rafikdz]

Absolutely, your perspective on marathon training and its impact on discipline is inspiring, Best of luck with your training, and may the discipline you've gained continue to enrich all areas of your life

I live in the SE states in the US.

I do open mic stand ups when I can find them.  I'm in a very red state with not a lot of night life so it's tough.  I'd be on stage every night if I could find the gigs!

[rafikdz]

that is really interesting. I would like to try that. but it takes a lot of courage 

[c26e5034]

Reading the books, I don't know if those still exist

[rafikdz]

Absolutely, reading books still exists and continues to thrive! Are you interested in any specific genre or recommendations? Any favorite books you'd like to share? :books:
