Meeting with many people in different places, I come to know that one of the great value in life is a balance of life. Moreover, having a balance of life will add a value to life to appreciate things more, to appreciate folxs who spend their lives working on one thing and applause them. Take for instance, if you never played Hockey there is a high chance that you may not like to watch NHL. Having said all these here are the things that I spend my extra time after work.

• Computer (again): I think it is a real virtual world; I learn more stuffs on Internet for my professional career and hobby as well. In addition, I do multimedia works, play keyboard on VST instruments

• Music: I love music and pretty much all kind of music; name it, Ethiopian traditional and contemporary, Modern stuff, Jazz, gospel, Blues, Arabic, Indian and other ethnic styles such as arranged by Yanni stuffs. My role models starts from my country guys like Abegassu Shiota, Henok Temesgen, Fasil Wuhib, Yohannes (jhonny) Tona. Because of these guys I came to know about others such as Victor Wooten, Jaco Pastorius, Marcus Miller and so on. I mentioned mostly Bass players becuase my main instrument is Bass.

This is our concert show that I was part of the band>>

Here is me and my Bass guitar in one of our concert

• Art and Multimedia: I grew up in a house that my father spending his free time lots of things in the house including painting. As a kid it was a bit overwhelming to become like that but that apprently inspired me and I always believe that I have a good taste of art

• Sports: I like to try everything but more as how the professionals do it. Because of that, I sometimes read a book to learn the prefessional way. I play soccus during a world cup season, play basket ball when I got a chance, swim by learning different styles and athletics since that is what we all known.
