Non-academic:
I have been playing an Indian stringed
instrument called "sitar" for several years now. Sitar is an instrument
for playing Indian classical music. It is usually played solo, but can
also be played in orchestration with other instruments.
I used to participate in dramatics, but
these days I am more of an observer.
