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..
Wow, things have been really fast since the last time I updated this. So, a couple of big-hitters: my 12th Grade started, I had full firmware update, and I did some travelling with my friends and family.
I felt that things were getting a bit serious after my fallow period ended and 12th Grade started. I needed to revamp my whole system in order to survive and do stuff efficiently. And so it happened:
Super stoked to see what's next.
Right now, my focus is on mostly these things:
I have been reading some nice books lately, you can catch up here.
Some New and Old Habits:
Lately, I have been obsessed with Vonnegut, pens (all kinds) and building systems.

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.
I am an awareness trapped in a human body passing through space and time.
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.
But don't fear! If you like what I am doing, or want to talk about something interesting, drop a DM or an email:
