Career

Until he was 11, he dreamt of becoming an I.A.S officer just because my father used to say about that. Then he thought being a swimmer would be cooler and worked hard for the same until he went to nationals. Once he was in such a good position I doubted if that was what he want and that's exactly when the math bug stuck him. He excelled at Abacus, Vedic math and then realized there's no pleasure in doing both of them. A few years later he watched The Social network and he found it was really cool to code (Which he don't agree with, now) and that was the time he entered the JEE rat race and ended with a not so bad 101 rank (oh God! he should have read chem a bit more). Being carried away by the same movie he chose Computer Science at IITD. Once he was here he realized he didn't have a specific interest in any field ( even if he had any, They would die as soon as he becomes good at it). This was the time he struck back to the swimming pool again but not as a swimmer this time but as a Central Defender for Waterpolo. It was fun but that isn't the only part of his life. So he keeps searching for more and more reasons to live(Instead of just surviving) but he thinks those reasons hate him because every hobby of his expires just the way my relationships do.

His current goals include Swimming the English Channel, Finding more goals to pursue, Sleeping for 10hours every day and flying to Andromeda.
