/ about me /

Who am I, you ask? #

I am an awareness trapped in a human body passing through space and time. Well, at least that what I would like to think.

But to be specific:

I am a senior 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.

See what I have been upto recently.

I am someone who likes thinking very much. I love dwelling on philosophical questions and descending into madness. You would often see me annoy the hell out of you by asking questions like "???"doing

I am curious person, and I am not afraid to experiment and possibly break a few things to scratch my intellectual and creative itches.

I like doing a lot of things: learning new things, math, reading, philosophy, livestreaming, making music and videos, writing, open-sourcing, and the list goes on. But there's only one end goal. That is, to do something that actually matters, to create meaningful stuff. See projects to see proof.

I love my work ethic, the process of creation and the endorphins it releases, though I can be a bit workaholic and too ambitious at times. I struggle with feeling overwhelmed very often. But I wouldn't want to feel "normal" again.

My philosophy is inspired by:doing

• Stoicism (normative)
• Rationality + Bayesian thinking
• Digital Minimalism / James Scholz (tech)
• Doing things that matter (prioritization)
• Nietzsche
• Ultralearning

I appreciate updating my beliefs and trying to improve myself by intensely introspecting myself.

Here are some more things I like:

• Building better systems, and getting those 1% gains
• Memory / SRS
• Working out
• Engaging in deep and genuine conversations with people
• Meditating
• Obsidian
• Optimising my learning pattern
• Playing games (ooh Disco Elysium is sick!)

So, in short, I am a scholar, a builder and a person who improves everyday.

What's cooking this year #

My main themes for this year (2025) are:

• Work: Focusing on both formal education and self education
  • math grind
• Health: Creating better systems
  • via habits, ritualisation and tracking
• Relationships: Accepting family responsibilities and be closer to parents
• Personal Growth: Seeking the virtuous life
  • imo "virtuous" = stoicism + minimalism + prioritisation + absurdism)

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.
