Besides music, I enjoy cooking and sketching. I find cooking very therapeutic. In fact music and cooking have a lot in common ufffd they blend different ingredients to create something new.
I like to make salads and interesting dishes like the Burmese Khow Suey, which is a full meal in itself. It's a one-dish soup meal made of egg noodles and curried beef or chicken with coconut milk and served with a variety of toppings; a squeeze of lemon adds tanginess to it.
I love cooking Italian food, as I love the herbs and spices like oregano, parsley, freshly ground black pepper, etc, and the flavour of pesto sauce. These are the ingredients that add a magical flavour to the cusine.u00a0
My other passion is sketching. I love doing pencil portraits. I have books full of my sketches. I guess I have inherited this love for sketching from my mother who is a very good artist.
