Snooker, Football

Left snooker before past 2 years until which I was a good player . Most of the shots I played were spectacular and was very well in placing the cue ball readily available to play the next shot. My favorite player is the one and only Ronnie Sullivan. Best player ever in snooker history.


Left football before 1 year. I played for team at city level tournaments.

My favorite players are Pele, Maradona, Zinedine Zidane, Christiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

Additional Information

I believe in dedication towards the work I undertake. Always trying to achieve excellence in what I do.

More focused on time management and continuously trying to improve each day.

Learning anything new is my passion, be it related to profession or any other field.

I believe the best way to learn is to teach and to teach is to learn twice.

Willing to accept challenging work even if its not documented well and need to begin from the scratch.
