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, reading, playing music, writing and making stuff in my free time..
After my exams ended in November, I fell in a deep productivity rut. It wasn't nice. I am back at square one, but I have one advantage: more experience than my previous self, and I think that will help me become a better human (something like the game Hades).
So, I have been trying to improve my focus and getting back my curiosity. Scholzian Resilience helps a lot. I am also waking up a bit early these days, and trying to sleep early (the latter is hard, given my workaholism). I am also doing study-with-me livestreams on my YouTube channel (at 2pm IST and 7pm IST) to be more accountable for my actions. Do join my streams. Let's study together 🔥
I had to leave the philosophy course I was doing because I couldn't make time for it, and there was very little reading material. So, I couldn't follow after a certain point. But thankfully I found a course on Mathematical Thinking (as of writing this, I am on Week 1). I am especially enjoying the abstract-ness of mathematics. Formal Logic feels like a bridge between philosophy and math, and boy I am liking it! (mathematical masochism).
If you're interested in math, and or philosophy, I would love to have a chat with you. Please reach out!
Some New and Old Habits:
Lately, I've been obsessed with Linux, A7X, productivity tools for no reason.
Last Updated: December 24, 2024
My main themes for this year are:
Goals and Habits for each theme will be implemented on Quarterly and Weekly basis. The themes are inspired by Stoicism and the want to improve myself and how I handle things.
The question of my existence is as absurd as the existence of the afternoon coffee in my mug. I mean, why should it happen?
I am someone who likes thinking very much. I love dwelling on philosophical questions and deriving overcomplicated, mathematical solutions to day-to-day problems (like choosing which soap I should buy). Just Kidding! Although it does seem like that when I throw terms like "confirmation bias" or "statistical base-rate" around.
I think of myself as curious. I like doing a lot of things: learning new things, math, reading, philosophy, livestreaming, making music and videos, writing and the list goes on. But there's only one end goal. That is, to do something that actually matters, to create meaningful stuff.
I love my work ethic and the process of creation and the endorphins it releases, though I can be a bit workaholic and ambitious at times.
My philosophy is inspired by:
I appreciate updating my beliefs and trying to improve myself. I also love building better systems using Anki/SRS, Obsidian and other productivity tools/techniques. I am a memory and psychology enthusiast.
I value deep and genuine connections with people. I am very much interested in meeting new people.
So, I am a scholar, a builder and a person who improves everyday.
I am a self-taught guitarist, programmer, musician. I know and speak several languages: Assamese (Native), English, Hindi and Sanskrit (a bit), in that order of proficiency. Published a paper about the 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.
Attended NYAS Junior Academy Fall '24 and yada yada. More on my LinkedIn.
I am not a very reachable person. Anyone who knows me personally would know that this is normal behavior.
