About
“…what really matters is what you like, not what you are like… Books, records, films - these things matter.” (Rob, High Fidelity by Nick Hornby)
Learning. Literature. Music. Films. The Arts. These are some of my passions. Being not only a spectator but a creator as well to these art forms, I list down below the works and creative geniuses that I not only admire but those that I think (and I hope) defines me.
Like, I am what I like.
