I am a junior high-schooler from India who thrives to learn new things, improve everyday and create good stuff. I love autonomy.
I am interested in polymathy + autodidactism, philosophy, math, open-source among many. I love talking to new people, playing music, reading, writing and making stuff in my free time..
September and October have been quite interesting. I mostly worked on learning about AI Safety/Research, getting my laptop fixed, exams (and recuperating from it), and making better habits. I also posted a few blogs and videos, and went halfway through the Oxford General Philosophy Course
And, I will mainly focus on getting done with my half-yearly exams (a lot of credit is on stake), and improving my Financial Literacy and marketing skills; something that I have been wanting to do since a long time. I am also planning to do some hobby projects like making some app, improving my guitar skills and making a podcast.
Meditation streak: 97 days, as of writing this. Made a habit of reading before bed and going through Anki after meals. Also committing myself to a Reading Day every month, where I read (and finish) a book all day.
Lately, I have been obsessed with coffee, pencils and music for no reason.

My main goals for this year are:
The question of my existence is as absurd as the existence of the afternoon coffee in my mug. But yes, I do have a certain personality, which is hard to describe on paper. I will try my best.
I am that guy who is fueled by curiosity. I often need a "challenge" and hence I always try to learn something new. I like the idea of helping people, even though they can be jerks at times (I am sorta aligned to Stoicism). I want to transcend beyond the norms, and do things that actually matter.
I love my work ethic and my process of creation. I tend to be workaholic sometimes, and love my work (apart from meaningless school stuff).
You can read about my beliefs here, although it is very, very incomplete.
Few of my blogs that display some of my personality:
I also love working on productivity and cognition systems: Obsidian, Spaced Repetition, workflows, AI, etc.
I can also help you reach out to people that knows things beyond my understanding (I have a few friends whom I count on, for their expert guidance).
I am a self-taught guitarist, programmer, musician. I know and speak several languages: Assamese (Native), English, Hindi, Sanskrit (a bit); in that order of proficiency. An aspiring researcher; published a paper about environment in my region.
I participated in YUVIKA '23 (Young Scientist Programme) held by ISRO and was a participant in ANVIKA '23 Programme hosted by Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology. I am eager to attend more programs/camps. And the goal here is to learn new things and skills that make me a better person and help me do great things for the world.
I am very particular about replying times. People close to me know that I am very hard to reach.
But don't fear! If you like what I am doing, and want to talk about something interesting, drop a DM or an email:
