While writing remains a passion for him, Varun has branched out into the marketing and communications department of EssentiallySports as well. When he wants to relax, Varun doesn’t have to venture away from tennis and NBA; he simply tunes in to Rafael Nadal and Michael Jordan’s exploits in their respective sports, past and present.
