I hail from a small town in the post-colonial British India, popularly known as the subcontinent of India. 

I started my astronomy journey as an amateur astronomer. I like gazing double or binary stars, and planets occasionally.

For me, art and science are complementary. I am a logophile and like to write articles and poems on my Blog. (See my eBook Universe's Verses). Moreover, I’m a student of Indian classical vocal music as well, which helps me self-regulate.

Sports have always been quite important to me. I play table tennis at the district-level (Australia rank). Other sports I like to play are chess, badminton, cricket, and soccer. Competition helps me with discipline, teamwork, and concentration. 

I like learning certain languages, too. I am bilingual (English and Hindi). However, I have also learned the basics of three other languages. I find that each new language opens up more ways of being effable.
