Sports & Activities
Here are the activities I take part in and enjoy the most.
Painting
Painting has been an integral part of my life, evolving from childhood family sketches to sketching and charcoal art by 5th grade, when my largest painting was exhibited.
Today, every painting reflects what I observe, imagine, and feel rather than simply completing a picture.
Even the tanghulu from my South Korea trip became a canvas of memory, transforming a photograph into a moment I could relive through art.
Running / Fitness
I stay active through running, workouts, and a healthy routine that keeps me disciplined and motivated.
Other Interests
- Yoga / stretching
- Outdoor walks
- Swimming / cycling
- Adventure activities
Reading
My love for self-development books and how it shapes my mindset.
Part I
The Power of Your Subconscious Mind
- Taught me how thoughts, visualization, and positive affirmations can influence the way we approach our goals.
- Applied this during my Class X preparation by visualizing my 95% target while consistently working towards it; I scored 92.6%.
- Learned that visualization sets direction, but disciplined action creates progress.
Atomic Habits
- Helped me understand why habits succeed or fail and how small behavioural changes shape long-term outcomes.
- Started reading with a simple goal of one page a day, which gradually grew into 10+ pages as reading became enjoyable.
- Over time, I noticed improvements in my vocabulary, word choice, and fluency, reinforcing the power of consistency.
Part II: Discovering My Taste in Books

South Korea
My first international trip, in Spring 2024, reshaped how I see technology, discipline, and culture. Our guide arrived five minutes early every single day, and everywhere we went, working people and schoolchildren chose to walk or take the subway over driving—a reminder that health and fitness are valued as part of everyday life.
Visiting the temples was mesmerising, each one carrying its own story and significance, and it was the warmth of the people that made the country feel truly homely and safe, leaving me with memories to cherish.
Adventure Spot
Trekking and outdoor adventures bring excitement, challenge, and a sense of achievement.

Community Service
A birthday spent with the children of Nirbhed Foundation.
Nirbhed Foundation
Nirbhed Foundation, meaning "No Discrimination," works towards equality by supporting underprivileged children through education, healthcare, nutrition and essential resources.
I came across the foundation and decided to visit, little knowing it would become one of my most memorable birthday experiences. As I entered, I saw children studying and enjoying themselves with their teacher, and to my surprise, they welcomed me with a beautiful birthday song. Their warmth made me feel that I had already received the most meaningful birthday gift.
I celebrated with them by distributing cupcakes, and seeing their faces light up as every child wished me left me deeply grateful and overwhelmed. What stayed with me most was seeing the care given to their education, even through facilities like a dedicated computer lab.
I went there hoping to make their day a little sweeter, but I left realising how little it takes to make a difference—and how much that difference can mean.
