- I was an avid quizzer, and have taken part in, and hosted, quite a few intercollegiate quizzes in my undergraduate days. At IISc, I have twice co-hosted the general quizzes as part of the Open Day celebrations at the ECE department.
- In a much earlier avatar, I was a part of the Indian Schools Debating Society. The tournaments then involved, almost exclusively, schools in Chennai, but the organization has now expanded greatly to include schools from all over India. The debates followed the format of the World Schools Style.
- Several of my art works (acrylic on canvas, primarily) have been on display in art exhibitions held at the Lalit Kala Akademi (National Academy of Art), Chennai.
