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..
My 11th Grade is officially over. I just got done with my final exams and it sure does feel great. But yeah, this academic year went SOOPER fast. I didn't have a moment to rest. It was boss fights after boss fights.
I am on a fallow period, to recharge myself and do some maintenance. I want to get started with some things before I start my my academic year:
Also, I have been having some really fun time focusing and doing deep work while streaming on YouTube. I think I will continue that throughout the year (as much I can; check forecast here.) And I'd very much like if you'd join the sessions as well!
I stream at 2pm IST; check schedule here.
Some New and Old Habits:
Lately, I have been obsessed with Nietzsche, the idea of Love and listening to fiction podcasts.

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.
