Hobbies:

Literature ...

Khalil Gibran is my favorite author. I got a collection of his work, including the master piece " The Prophet ".
Bertrand Russell is the other author I resort to. Check out my Links page for links to some links to his work.

Selected poems from Pablo Neruda's " Book of Questions " are here .

Some Words of Wisdom, haphazardly selected and collaged are here.

A collection of a few poems from classic/medieval english literature are here.

Some pieces of Urdu poetry can be accessed here.

Music ...

I like light rock, classic and contemporary pop music. Best guys in music for me are:
John Lennon (Beetles), Lionel Richie, Bryan Adams, Ronan Keating (BoyZone), Eric Clapton, Kenny G.
I use KaZaA for music downloads and endorse their idea of sharing music-stuff online.

Videos ...

I like classic, romantic and romantic-comedy type movies. Cool guys at video screen include:
Anthony Hopkins, Kevin Kostner, Tom Hanks, Ben Stiller, Julia Roberts, Meg Ryan.

Weight Room Training ...

My recipe for staying fit. The weight room at Chicago Circle Center at UIC has it all.

Squash ...

Not aiming to be next Jahangir Khan, but Squash is my best sport. The UIC Squash League is evolving as a club at the UIC, and we're arranging squash tournaments every semester as well as FREE one-on-one Clinics for beginning squash players. For current squash activity, click here.

Swimming ...
Swimming is fun in summer as well as winter. If you're a beginner at swimming, I highly recommend hitting this website which has lots of tips and lessons with pictures on learning/improving freestyle, breast stroke, butterfly and back stroke.
