I would have mentioned how I train at the gym and play football and hockey regularly, however since signing up for my MBA (Masters of Business Administration) course and having a family, my time is mainly spent revising and/or ferrying/chasing my two year old round the house. I do thoroughly enjoy travelling and learning foreign languages. At present I am proficient in French, German, Hindi, Urdu and Gujarati.
